She Came With The Spices(Chords)

	        Verse 1 

G 
She came with the spices 
C             D 
To thy tomb O Lord, 
D7 
Knowing not that Thou 
G                   Em 
Above the earth had soared. 
    G 
She came void of all hope; 
    Am 
She came expecting death; 
   Am               G 
Forgetting the Life-Giver 
    D             G 
Who is the living breath. 


Verse 2 
   G 
In trials and tribulations, 
   C             D 
Do we not do the same: 
D7 
Looking at our errors, 
G                 Em 
Despairing in our blame? 
    G 
How often do we wallow, 
 Am 
Abandoning all hope ? 
   Am            G 
As though on our own ? 
     D               G 
With burden we could cope. 



Verse 3 
   G 
If Peter lost all hope when 
    C                D 
Our Lord exposed his sin, 
D7 
Luke would not record 
    G                       Em 
The three thousand he would win. 
G 
If Paul considered nothing 
    Am 
But his murderous past, 
      Am           G 
Would his inspired letters 
   D               G 
To this generation last? 



Verse 4 
G 
Moses? life was evil, 
      C             D 
Every sin he did commit, 
D7 
But from this desert bandit, 
  G                Em 
A shining lamp was lit. 
   G 
If Mary, Egypt?s harlot, 
    Am 
Had not tried to win his grace, 
Am                  G 
Would she now be in heaven ? 
      D                G 
Would she have won the race? 


Verse 5 
    G 
Our Lord set an example, 
   C                 D 
Compelled, we do the same: 
D7 
Fight, strive, persevere and 
   G             Em 
On us will be no blame. 
   G 
If our loving Saviour 
    Am 
Had not endured all pain, 
      Am                G 
Would Redemption and Salvation 
D           G 
Ever be our gain? 



Verse 6 
  G 
I come now with hope 
   C          D 
To Thy Tomb O Lord, 
D7 
Knowing that in Truth, 
G                    Em 
Above the earth Thou soared, 
  G 
I come now with joy, 
  Am 
I come expecting life; 
Am                   G 
Knowing that through Thee 
  D              C 
I can endure all strife.
