(c) 2000- Survior records
I love this song, but I never considered doing it as worship till I heard
it done at Soul survivor 2000.
Now I totally love it and where I've done it as worship people have been
released into worship, so I guess I really love it now!
Here's the chords - I know there is a lot of piano, but if you do slow
downward strums on an acoustic in their place it sounds cool.
CAPO 4 (G)

O Jesus son of God , so full of grace and truth

In you all things were made and nothing without you

Peace for a world that God so loves
