D                G         D              G 
Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom 
D                G         Bm             G 
Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom 
 
verse 1 
D 
Who can ascend the hill of the Lord? 
 
The one who utters no untrue word 
                             Em 
Whose hands are clean, whose heart is pure 
        D 
Who can ascend that hill? 
 
verse 2 
 
There is none righteous, no not one 
G 
We are prodigal daughters and wayward sons 
   D                      A 
We don't know the half of the hurt we've done 
                               D 
The countless we have killed 
 
verse 3 
 
Our priests are cheats, our prophets are liars 
G 
We know what the law requires 
       D 
But we pile our sins up higher and higher 
 
Who can ascend that hill? 
 
verse 4 
 
And I am a sheep who has gone astray 
G 
I have turned aside to my own way 
     D                         G 
Have mercy on me, Son of David 
 
D                                         G 
Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom 
D                                         G 
Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom 
 
Verse 5 
D 
Now hear the voice of the Word made man 
 
The spotless sacrificial Lamb 
 
"A body You gave me, here I am 
       G               D 
I have come to do Your will" 
 
Verse 6 
 
And no one takes my life, you see 
  G 
I lay it down now willingly 
    D 
And I will draw all men to me 
       G 
When I ascend that hill 
 
Bridge 1 
D 
On Sunday You came as a King 
Em 
On Monday washed the temple clean 
D 
On Tuesday You told of what will be 
 
On Wednesday You waited patiently 
 
On Thursday You said it is time 
 
I'll drink this cup 'cause it is mine 
                                G 
On Friday, Lord, You poured the wine 
 
Bridge 2 
       D 
Like a thief on the cross, as He hung there dying 
    G                         F#m 
For crimes, there were no use denying 
                                            G 
While the righteous Judge hung right beside him 
A 
How could I not recognize You? 
G 
How could I not recognize You? 
F#m                       G 
How could I not recognize... my Lord? 
 
D                                            G 
My Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom 
D                G         Bm             G 
Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom 
 
Interlude 
D G Bm G D G Bm G 
 
Verse 7 
D 
Just days ago the sky was stone 
               Bm 
The trees were standing stripped to the bone 
A                       G 
You could hear creation groan 
 
Verse 8 
      D 
But I write these words on an April day 
        Em 
And the earth is drinking the early rain 
    D                          G 
The hills remember green again 
 
Verse 9 
          D 
And we've heard this story all our lives 
          G 
Still, we feel the pain of the crucified 
        Bm                            G 
And the end still comes as a surprise 
 
verse 10 
    D 
But before the breath there in the tomb 
                                   A 
Before our joy sprang from the womb 
                            G 
You saw a day that's coming soon 
 
verse 11
             D 
When the Son will stand on the mount again 
 
With an army of angels at His command 
 
And the earth will split like the hull of a seed 
 
Wherever Jesus plants His feet 
 
verse 12
 
And up from the earth, the dead will rise 
                  G 
Like spring trees robed in petals of white 
A                                     G 
Singing the song of the radiant bride 
 
Refrain 
            D          G          D 
And we will always be, always be, always be with the Lord 
D                 G           D 
We will always be, always be, always be with the Lord 
D                    G 
We will always... (we will always be, always be) 
D 
Be with Jesus (always be with the Lord) 
 
D 
My Lord, remember me (we will always be, always be) 
                        G 
When You come into Your kingdom (always be with the Lord) 
D                    G 
Lord, remember me (we will always be, always be) 
Bm                      D 
When You come into Your kingdom (always be with the Lord)
