There Was Jesus

By: Zach Williams

Transpose:
VERSE 1
      Ab 
Every time I tried to make it on my own
        Cm
Every  time I tried to stand and start to fall
                Db .                             Bbm  
And  all those lonely roads that I have travelled on
           Ab 
There was Jesus

VERSE 2
          Ab            
When the life I built came crashing to the ground
           Cm   
When  the friends I had were nowhere to be found
            Db                         Bbm
I  couldn't see it then but I can see it now
          Ab      Eb 
There was Jesus

CHORUS
         Fm 
In  the waiting, in the searching
        Db 
In the healing and the hurting
         Ab                           Eb 
Like a blessing buried in the broken pieces
      Fm 
Every minute‚ every moment
            Db 
Where  I've been and where I'm going
     Ab                                Eb 
Even when I didn't know it or couldn't see it
         Ab  
There was Jesus

VERSE 3
         Ab
For this man who needs amazing kind of grace (Mmm)
       Cm
For forgiveness at a price I couldn't pay (Mmm)
         Db                         Bbm   
I'm not perfect so I thank God every day
           Ab              Eb 
There was Jesus (There was Jesus)


CHORUS
        Fm

Like a blessing buried in the broken pieces
      Fm 
Every minute‚ every moment
            Db                      
Where I've been and where I'm going
      Ab                                 Eb 
Even when I didn't know it or couldn't see it
           Fm 
There was Jesus

In the shadows of the alleys (There was Jesus)
                     Db              Ab
In the fire, in the flood (There was Jesus)
