Lyrics
DAMASCUS ROAD
Words and Music By: Eric J. Hollingsworth
Tune ½ Step Down
Intro: Cmaj7, Fmaj7, Cmaj7, Fmaj7
Verse 1:
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
I was making a living just trying to do my job
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
Zealous for the Lord but never knew my God
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
Lived my life to tear down the thing He died to build
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
Persecute the Cross that takes away my guilt, uh
Pre-chorus 1:
Am7 G Fmaj7
Little did I know what would happen next
Am7 G Fmaj7
On my way up the road to Damascus
Chorus:
C Dmaj7 Em Fmaj7
On my way up Damascus Road
C G B7
Trying so hard to kick against the goads
C Dsus Em add9 Fmaj7
Why He chose me I may never know
Cadd9 G6 Fmaj7 C
On my way up Damascus Road
Verse 2:
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
There was a flash of light and it knocked me to the ground
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
When I stood up blind I couldn’t come around
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
I heard this voice begin to call out my name
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
He said I’d been causing Him so much pain
Pre-chorus 2:
Am7 G Fmaj7
I said how can that be when I don’t even know You
Am7 G Fmaj7
He said My name’s Jesus pleased to meet you
Chorus:
C Dmaj7 Em Fmaj7
On my way up Damascus Road
C G B7
Trying so hard to kick against the goads
C Dsus Em add9 Fmaj7
Why He chose me I may never know
Cadd9 G6 Fmaj7 C
On my way up Damascus Road
Bridge
G B7
Now I stand before you
C Dmaj7
As a broken and humble man
G B7
Bought and paid for by the Blood of Christ
C D
Chosen before time began as I was
Chorus:
C Dmaj7 Em Fmaj7
On my way up Damascus Road
C G B7
Trying so hard to kick against the goads
C Dsus Em add9 Fmaj7
Why He chose me I may never know
Cadd9 G6 Fmaj7 C
On my way up Damascus Road
