Call out among the scoff- - -ers.

I will not boast in an- y -  thing,

No gifts, no pow'r, no wis-dom.
    E               F#m  E/G#  A

His death and resurrec- - - -tion.
    E/G#               F#m/C#  E/B  A
Why should I gain from His    re- ward?
  E/G#           C#m  Bsus  B 
I cannot give an ans-wer.
    E                F#m  E/G#  A
But this I know with all my   heart,
    E/B                 Bsus  B  E  
His wounds have paid my ran- - - som.
