Verse 1:
I [Am]searched so long, my heart so empty
I searched for peace, to [E7]make me happy
I [Dm]felt so lost, [G]hungry and thirsty
[C]Wandering a[E]round
I [Am]heard someone, He called my name;
“Just take My hand, I’ll [E7]fill your heart
I [Dm]know who you are, [G]I’m your Creator
I [C]bore the pain you f[E]eel” [E]

Chorus 1:
“I [Am]came for you, my beloved

I [Dm]bore the cross for you
Sal[Am]vation dawns on you
And [E]all your sins will surely be forg[Am]iven”

Verse 2:
I [Am]saw his hands, reach out to me
His healing touch un[E7]veiled my eyes
He [Dm]shed his light, to [G]light up my path
His [C]mercy changed my h[E]eart
I’ve [Am]been so blind Lord, I did not see Lord
How could I live my [E7]life without You
I [Dm]knelt down before You, grabbed [G]hold of your hands
And [C]called aloud to Y[E]ou; [E]

Chorus 2:
“To[Am]day my life belongs to You Lord,
I’ll [F]spread around the things You did Lord

Verse 1:
'k Was [Am]steeds op zoek, mijn hart vol leegte
Steeds op zoek; “Wie [E7]geeft mij vrede?!”
[Dm]Dwalend in t rond, ter[G]wijl ik niks vond
[C]Hunkerend bleef mijn [E]hart
Ik [Am]hoorde Iemand, Hij riep mijn naam
“Pak mijn hand, en [E7]laat je redden,
Ik [Dm]weet wie je bent, [G]Ik ben je Schepper,
[C]Ik voel mee met je [E]pijn [E]

''Ik [Am]kwam voor jou, mijn geliefde

En [E]al jouw zonden worden je verge[Am]ven'' [Am]

Verse 2:
Ik [Am]zag zijn handen, uitgestoken
De schellen vielen [E7]van mijn ogen
[Dm]Hij bescheen mijn [G]lege wegen,
Ver[C]anderde mijn [E]hart
Hoe [Am]blind was ik Heer, ik zag het niet Heer
Hoe kon ik leven, [E7]zonder U Heer
Ik [Dm]knielde voor U neer, [G]pakte Uw hand vast,
en [C]riep het uit naar [E]U:

Chorus 2:
''Van[Am]af vandaag ben ik van U Heer
Ver[F]tel ik wat U voor mij deed Heer

Er[Am]ken Koning Jezus
Hij [F]is Heer en Meester

[E/G#]Erken Hem als Heer, kom
En [F]zing met mij m[G]ee;
