I'm trying to put heaps of Christian tabs on here from some of my favorite
songs, so I've got this off another site to put it here for you.
If you'd like me to tab or find a song for you email me at
                      r_e_n_e_g_a_d_e@hotmail.com

Chorus;
        G                 C
When we don't get what we deserve
                   G                  G
That's a real good thing, a real good thing
        G                 C
When we get what we don't deserve
                   G                  G
That's a real good thing, a real good thing

C               C
Born to sin and then get caught
C                  C
All our good deeds don't mean squat


G
Sell the Volvo, shred the Visa
Bb
Send the cash to Ma Teresa
C
Great idea, the only catch is
    F
You don't get saved on merit badges


[chorus]


Verse 2:

Doctor's coming, looking grim
'Do you have a favorite hymn?'

Check your balance through the years
All accounts are in arrears
Guilt is bitter, grace is sweet
Park it here on the mercy seat


[chorus]
