Lyrics

You could ’ve come like a might y (D)storm,

with all the strength of a hur ri (Dmaj7)cane.

You could ’ve come (Asus)like a for est (Bm)fire,

with the (Em)pow er of heav en in Your (Asus)flame.

But You (Em9)came like a win ter snow:

(D)qui et and soft and (G)slow;

(Em9)fall ing from the (D)sky in the (Gmaj7)night to the (A7sus)earth be (D)low.

You could ’ve swept in like a tid al (Bm7)wave,

or in an (Em9)o cean to rav ish our (Dmaj7)hearts.

You could ’ve (G)come through

like a roar ing (Bm)flood,

to (Em9)wipe a (A7sus)way the things we’ve (D)scarred.

(F#7)Oh, but You

Ooh, (Bm)no, Your (F#m)voice was n’t (Gmaj7)in a (A)bush burn ing.

No, Your (F#m)voice was n’t (Gmaj7)in a (A)rush ing (F#)wind.

It was (F#m)still, it was (Gmaj7)small, it was (A)hid (F#)den.

(Em)Oh,

You (D)came like a win ter snow:

(D)qui et and soft and (G)slow,

(Em9)fall ing from the (D)sky in the (Gmaj7)night to the (A7sus)earth be low.

(Asus)You (F#)came (Bm)fall ing from the (D)sky in the (Gmaj7)night to the (Asus)earth be low.
