Chorus:
When the God-man passes by
The blind will see and the dead will rise
Redeemed will dance and broken wings take flight
          D#m     B     F#
When the God-man passes by

D#m
I was a hollow man
     B                             F#
My treachery despised and rightly so
    D#m
And even though my chains were gone
      B                                 F#
I'm still a slave and reaping what I've sown
D#m                          B
Call it desperation, I just had to see His face
           F#                          C#
So like a child, I climbed a sycamore tree
          B       C#        D#m
When the God-man called my name
           C#            F#
I knew I'd never be the same

Chorus:
                 B       A     F#
'Cause when the God-man passes by
      B
The blind will see and the dead will rise
                         C# B   A          F#
Redeemed will dance and broken wings take flight
         D#m      B      F#
When the God-man passes by

I was a runaway
A gypsy chasing shadows in the night
A prisoner of secrets
'Till religion dragged my shame into light
All my darkness was revealed
Just when I thought my fate was sealed
My accusers dropped the stones and walked away
'Cause when the God-Man cleansed my name
I knew I'd never be the same

Chorus:
'Cause when the God-Man passes by
The blind will see and the dead will rise
Redeemed will dance and broken wings take flight
When the God-Man passes by

        D#m       B       F#
You can come just as you are
        D#m         B       F#
Let Him have your broken heart
          B       E      B
You have never run too far
         D#m     B       F#
There is freedom in His scars
         F#       B       F#
You can come just as you are
        D#m         B     F#
Let Him have your broken heart
          B     E       B
You have never run too far
          D#m    B       F#
There is freedom in His scars

Chorus:
'Cause when the God-Man (God-Man), passes by
The blind will see and the dead will rise
Redeemed will dance and broken wings take flight
When the God-Man, passes by
When the God-Man passes by
