I Am Ashamed chords

[VERSE 1]
I [Em]used to nuture [C]bitterness, to [G]count up every [B7]slight
The [Em]world's a moral [C]wilderness and [G]I have felt its [B7]blight
Self-[Em]pity ruled, re[C]sentment rained, [Em]no one under[C]stood my pain
I [Em]spiraled [C]down in [G]murky [B7]night in[Em]sisting [C]that I [G]had the [B7]right
To [Em]hate and [B/D#]hate aga[D]in

[CHORUS 1]
[Em]I am a[C]shamed, a[G]shamed [B7] [B/D#]
[Em]O my [C]Lord, for[G]give [B7] [B/D#]

[VERSE 2]
But [Em]then the gospel [C]taught me how to [G]contemplate the [B7]cross
For [Em]there Christ died for [C]me and now I've [G]glimpsed the bitter [B7]cost
He [Em]bore abuse and [C]blows and hate, [Em]He did not re[C]taliate
Tri[Em]umphant [C]malice [G]sneered and [B7]tossed, blind [Em]rage at [C]him, He [G]never [B7]lost
The [Em]love that [B/D#]conquers [D]hate

[CHORUS 2]
[Em]I am a[C]shamed, a[G]shamed [B7] [B/D#]
[Em]O my [C]Lord, for[G]give [B7] [B/D#]
[Em]I am a[C]shamed, a[G]shamed [B7] [B/D#]
[Em]O my [C]Lord, for[G]give [B7] [B/D#]

[VERSE 3]
To [Em]make no threat, to [C]smile, forgive, to [G]love and not be[B7]cause I must
For [Em]Jesus showed me [C]how to live and [G]trust the one who's [B7]just
To [Em]suffer all and [C]feel the pain, [Em]certain that the [C]loss is gain
Oh [Em]God I [C]want so [G]much to [B7]trust, to [Em]follow [C]Jesus [G]on that [B7]cross
To [Em]love and [B/D#]love ag[D]ain, to [Em]love and [B/D#]love ag[D]ain

[CHORUS 3]
[Em]I am a[C]shamed, a[G]shamed [B7] [B/D#]
[Em]O my [C]Lord, for[G]give [B7] [B/D#]
[Em]I am a[C]shamed, a[G]shamed [B7] [B/D#]
[Em]O my [C]Lord, for[G]give [B7] [B/D#]
[Em]forgive
