[verse 1]  E, Eup, A2, Am
You know I ran across
An old box of letters
When I was bagging up some clothes for goodwill
But you know I had to laugh
At the same old struggles
That plagued me then are plaguing me still

[verse 2]
'Cause I know the road is long
From the ground to glory
But a boy can hope he's getting some place
But you see I'm running from
The very clothes I'm wearing
And dressed like this I'm fearful to chase

[bridge 1]  D2, A2, E
You know there is none righteous
Not one who understands
There is none who seeks God no not one
No not one

[chorus]  E, Eup, D2, A2
So I am thankful that I'm incapable of doing any good on my own yeah
Said I'm so thankful that I'm incapable of doing any good on my own yeah

[verse 3]
'Cause we're all still-born
Dead in our transgressions
Shackled up to the sin we hold so dear
What part can I play
In the work of redemption
'Cause I can't refuse and I cannot add a thing

[bridge 2]
'Cause I am just like Lazarus
And I can hear your voice
And I stand and rub my eyes and walk to you
Because I have no choice

[repeat chorus]

[harmonica solo]

[bridge 3]
'Cause it's by grace I have been saved
And through faith it's not my own
It is a gift of God and not by works
Lest anyone should boast

[repeat chorus]

[repeat chorus, no guitar]

[repeat chorus]
