In key of C
When I put a C before the Dm finger number, leave that string open when you play it.
When I put a ! before the E thumb number, use the thumb to fret the 6th string on the 1st fret (F).
Verse Tab:
[Play C with an open 2nd string and fretted 1st string - like you're playing G]
Am Dm G C

[Verse 1]
Am Dm
A voice came and spoke to the silence
G C
The words took on beauty and form
Am Dm E
The form took its shape as a garden, was born
Am Dm
Then man from the dust came reflecting
G C
All goodness and beauty and life
Am Dm E
But he, lowered his gaze as he listened to the face of low desires
[Chorus]
Am F C G
This, my soul, you were born, you were born into
Am F C G
What this man has done, it all extends to you
Am F C G
Let the words shake on down along your spine, and ring out truth that you might find new life
[Verse 2]
Am Dm
The voice came and swords blocked the garden
G C
None could return with their lives
Am Dm E
A curse, there, was placed upon every man to face for all of time
Am Dm
No wisdom of man nor a billion
G C
Could deliver new life out of death
Am Dm E
But the voice with the curse spoke a promise that the Word would take on flesh
[Chorus]
Am F C G
This, my soul, you were born, you were born into
Am F C G
What this man has done, it all extends to you
Am F C G
Let the words shake on down along your spine, and ring out truth that you might find
Am F C G
Let the words shake on down along your spine, and ring out truth that you might find new life
[Bridge]
Am F
And then the perfect Son of Man
C G
He took the place the voice had planned since the garden and before
Am F
He took the swords and cursed the grave
C E Am E
There's nothing more to separate us from the promise... The words of a living hope
[Chorus]
Am F C G
This, my soul, you were born, you were born into
Am F C G
What this man has done, it all extends to you
Am F C G
Let the words shake on down along your spine, and ring out truth that you might find
Am F C G
Let the words shake on down along your spine, and ring out truth that you might find
Am F C G
Let the words shake on down along your spine, and ring out truth that you might find new life
