Words and Music: Gerrit Gustafson
Lyrics provided for English and French vocalists.

VERSE:
C                           G/C  C
On  - ly  by grace can we   en - ter
C’est par la grâce que nous ve - nons
Dm7                       Gsus  G
On - ly by grace can we   stand
nous présenter   de -vant toi.
C                          G/C   C
Not by  our hu  -  man en -dea - vour
Non par nos forces ou  nos ef  - forts,
Dm7                       Gsus G G/F
But  by  the blood of the Lamb
mais par le  sang  de l’A-gneau.

BRIDGE:
Em7                            G/A  Am7
In-to   Your pre -  sence You  call us
Tu nous ap - pelles au -  près de   toi;
G   Fmaj7            Gsus G
You call  us   to    come
Sei-gneur nous voi - ci.
C                             G/A  Am7
In-to   Your pre   sence You  draw us
Tu nous at - tires au -  près de   toi,
    Dm7         F/G      C  Am7
And now by Your grace we come
par ta  grâce,  nous  voici.
Dm7         F/G      C     G/B
Now by Your grace we come
par grâce,  nous  voici.

CHORUS:
Am          Am/G              F
Lord if You mark our  trans - gres - sions
Si   tu comptais tous nos     pé  -  chés,
F/G G     C2     C Bm7 E7 E7/G#
Who would stand?
qui viv - rait?
Am               Am/G         F
Thanks to   Your grace we are cleansed
Mais   nous en - trons pu-ri- fiés
        G            Am
By  the blood of the Lamb
par le  sang  de l’A-gneau.

Now by Your grace we come;
par grâce,  nous  voici.
Dm7         F/G      C
Now by Your grace we come.
par grâce,  nous  voici.



NOTE:
This is Ultimate Guitar. To make this song playable
by a guitarist, some doubtful chords were removed from
the standard tabs after diligently comparing them with
recorded version.

On occasion notes sung by the singers are added to the
chord name, for example: making a G/F (G over F) when
the band only plays the G chord. While the singers began
in an F to move up to G, I am of the opinion the 
tabs should only reflect the recorded music.

BLATANT OPINION:
This tendency of adding vocal notes to tab chords 
is a traditional hold-over from scoring piano music.
Piano players can provide bass notes, mid-range chords
along with the melody if unaccompanied by a vocalist.
The chords provided above more closely reflect the
band arrangement.
