I don't have the chords but here are the lyrics from
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xReqYHgquVE
Some people ask me why I'm so happy
even when sorrows press on
They see me laughin' while the storm's raging,
they wonder where I get my song
But they cannot see the trouble I faced not so very long ago
or to comprehend this joy that's within,
there's something that they need to know.
Chorus:
I've been saved from the flames of a hot burning fire,
Lifted from the tempest as the waves grew higher.
Sheltered from the desert, dusty and dry,
I was given a drink of water when I thought I would die.
Delivered from the danger of a dark lion's den
Given new life in exchange for my sin.
Set free, forgiven, I've been born again.
My brother I have been rescued.
Well I used to feel trouble. My sorrows were double
as the burdens of life held me down
I was defeated 'till I saw what I needed
then His tender mercy I found
and though life is rough, I'm not giving up
even when I'm tested and I'm tried
I'll not waste time doubting. I'm gonna go on shouting
I've crossed to the winning side
Chorus
