(capo 5)

E                   F#
I ran across an old box of letters
            A7             Am7              E
While I was baggin up some clothes for Goodwill
E                                F#
You know I had to laugh that the same old struggles
     A7                  Am7           E
That plagued me then are plaguing me still
E                            F#
I know the road is long from ground to glory
      A7                Am7            E
But a boy can hope he's getting some place
E                                      F#
But you see, I'm running from the very clothes I'm wearing
    A7                    Am7           E
And dressed like this I'm fit for the chase

D         A               E
No, there is none righteous
D           A         E
Not one who understands
D        A             E
There is none who seek God
       D           A
No not one, no not one

     E                   F#
I am thankful that I'm incapable
   A7        Am7         E
Of doing any good on my own

E                                      F#
'Cause we're all stillborn and dead in our transgressions
      A7                 Am7             E
We're shackled up to the sin we hold so dear
E                              F#
So what part can I play in the work of redemption
  A7              Am7              E
I can't refuse, I cannot add a thing

       D    A              E      D     A             E
'Cause I am just like Lazarus and I can hear Your voice
  D         A         E             D
I stand and rub my eyes and walk to You
          A
Because I have no choice

     E                   F#
I am thankful that I'm incapable
   A7        Am7         E
Of doing any good on my own
     E                   F#
I'm so thankful that I'm incapable
   A7        Am7         E
Of doing any good on my own

D A E  D A E  D A E  D

     D        A           E
It's by grace I have been saved
        D          A        E
Through faith it's not my own
   D      A         E            D
It is the gift of God and not by works
        A
Lest anyone should boast
