 Verse 1:
.G#                      D#
 The moon and stars they wept
.                    Fm
 The morning sun was dead
.                   C#
 The Savior of the world was fallen
.G#               D#
 His body on the cross

 His blood poured out for us

 The weight of every curse upon Him

 One final breath He gave

 As Heaven looked away

 The power of hell forever broken
