My Song Is Love Unknown by John Ireland (composer)
My Song Is Love Unknown
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo
C G6 Am G C F
My song is love unknown, my Savior's love to me
Dm Em Am Dsus4 D7 G
Love to the loveless shown, that they might love ly be
C Bb Dm F Am
Oh, who am I that for my sake,
G C G6 C
My Lord should take frail flesh and die?
C G6 Am G C F
He came from his blessed throne salvation to bestow
Dm Em Am Dsus D7 G
But men made strange and none the longed-for Christ would know
C Bb Dm F Am
But O! my friend, my friend indeed,
G C G6 C
Who at my need, His life did spend.
C G6 Am G C F
Sometimes they strew His way and His sweet praises sing
Dm Em Am Dsus D7 G
Resounding all the day, hosannas to their King
C Bb Dm F Am
Then, "Crucify!" is all their breath,
G C G6 C
And for His death they thirst and cry.
C G6 Am G C F
Why, what has my Lord done to cause this rage and spite
Dm Em Am Dsus D7 G
He made the lame to run, and gave the blind their sight
C Bb Dm F Am
What injuries, yet these are why,
G C G6 C
The Lord Most High so cruelly dies.
C G6 Am G C F
They rise and needs will have my dear Lord made away
Dm Em Am Dsus D7 G
A murderer they save, the Prince of Life they slay
C Bb Dm F Am
Yet Cheerful He to suffering goes,
G C G6 C
That he his foes from thence might free.
C G6 Am G C F
Here might I stay and sing no story so divine
Dm Em Am Dsus D7 G
Never was love, dear King, never was grief like Thine
C Bb Dm F Am
This is my friend in whose sweet praise,
G C G6 C
I, all my days would gladly spend.
