Biography:
Spend any time talking with minister/artist Matt Papa, and one thing becomes immediately apparent: He’s clearly a man on a mission.
Eschewing the typical small talk that usually happens before a conversation really gets started, Papa wastes no time digging into the heart of the matter. As an artist who isn’t interested in simply making music for music’s sake, Papa writes songs that center around God’s word and doesn’t consider his job done until the lyrics have taken permanent residence in a listener’s gray matter.

Capo 3
[Intro with whistling]
G Em Cadd9 Em D Cadd9 G
[Verse 1]
G Em Cadd9 Em
God of love You came to earth
D Cadd9 G
Born in a manger, the incarnate Word
Em Cadd9 Em
Full of grace, and full of truth
D Cadd9 G
You healed the leper, You made all things new
D Em Cadd9 G
Religion despised Your word of love
D Em Cadd9 G
Condemned You to die in Your innocence
Em Cadd9 Em
A crown of thorns and mockery
D Cadd9 G
Were Yours my Saviour, my precious King
[Interlude]
G Em Cadd9 Em D Cadd9 G
[Verse 2]
G Em Cadd9 Em
Stained with blood and bruised with pain
D Cadd9 G
The Lamb of God on a cross of shame
Em Cadd9 Em
Never before and never again
D Cadd9 G
Was love so great, was death so grim
D Em Cadd9 G
There on the hill You died for me
D Em Cadd9 G
You took my sin, gave me liberty
Em Cadd9 Em
I'll never boast but in Your cross
D Cadd9 G
And all my gains I now count as loss
[Interlude]
G Em Cadd9 Em D Cadd9 G
[Verse 3]
G Em Cadd9 Em
When sins they rob my heart of joy
D Cadd9 G
And condemnation seems to steal even more
Em Cadd9 Em
This I recall, You rose again
D Cadd9 G
And I rose with You, hallelujah amen
D Em Cadd9 G
So if I live in want, or die in shame
D Em Cadd9 G
To live is You and to die is gain
Em Cadd9 Em
I in You and You in me
D Cadd9 G
My God, my Brother, my Identity
[Verse 4]
G Em
Were I tempted with the best of earth
Cadd9 Em
All it's pleasures and all it's gold
D
And if fame in all it's kingdoms
Cadd9 G
Was in my hands to hold
Em
I'd scorn it all for You've given me
Cadd9 Em
The treasure of Your Son
D
And now I'm richer than the richest
Cadd9 G
For You've given me Your love
[Outro]
