And can it be (that I should gain)

AND CAN IT BE

By Charles Wesley

 Verse 1:

And can it be that I should gain

   D        Em     Bm        A

an interest in the Savior's blood?

Died He for me, who caused His pain?

Em          D         A         D

For me, who Him to death pursued?

That Thou, my God, should die for me?

Amazing love! How can it be

That Thou, my God, should die for me?

Verse 2:

 D          A      C          G

He left His Father's throne above

   D        Em     Bm        A

so free, so infinite His grace!

 D          A        C      G 

Emptied Himself of all but love

     Em        D       A        D

 and bled for Adam's helpless race

Verse 3:

     D     G         C        D     

’Tis mercy all, immense and free

For O my God, it found out me!

D               G     D

No condemnation now I dread;

                  G       D

Jesus, and all in Him, is mine;

                 G      D

Alive in Him, my living Head,

                        Em   A

And clothed in righteousness divine,

         G                  D

Bold I approach the eternal throne,

                                       A

And claim the crown, through Christ my own.
