Intro:
Riff A (4x)
Riff B (4x)
Riff C (2x)


Verse 1:
E                B
 Words fall like drops of rain
C#m               A
 My lips are like clouds
B
 I say so many things
C#m             A
Trying to figure You out
E             B
 But as mercy opens my eyes
C#m                  A
My words are stolen away
          C#m                       A
With this breathtaking view of Your grace


Chorus:
         E                F#m
And I am speechless, I'm astonished and amazed
     C#m              A
I am silenced by Your wondrous grace
         E
You hace saved me
         C#m                A    (Riff B)
You have raised me from the grave
     E                  F#m
I am speechless in Your presence now
      C#m             A
I'm astounded as I consider how
         F#m   G#m            A      B
You have shown us a love that leaves us


(Riff C 2x)
Speechless


Verse 2 (same as verse 1):
So what kind of love could this be
That would trade heaven's throne for a cross
And to think You still celebrate
Over finding just one who was lost
And to know You rejoice over us
The God of this whole universe
Is a story that's too great for words


Chorus

C#m       F#m-G#m-A-B
Speechless
       C#m       F#m-G#m-A-B
We are speechless


Bridge:
        F#m
Oh, how great is the love
                         C#m
The Father has lavished upon us
     F#m                G#m
That we should be called
    A                         D  C#m
The sons and the daughters of God
