You could ’ve come like a might y (Dmaj7)storm,
with all the strength of a hur ri cane;
You could ’ve come like a for est fire,
with the pow er of heav en in Your (A7sus)flame.
But You came like a win ter snow:
(Em9)qui et, and (Dsus2)soft,
and (Gmaj9)slow;
(Em9)fall ing from the sky
in the night
to the earth be low.
You could ’ve swept in like a tid al wave,
or in an o cean to rav age our hearts.
You could have come through
like a roar ing flood
to wipe
a way the things we’ve scarred.
(F#7)Oh, but You came like a win ter snow, yes, You did.
You were qui et, You were soft
and slow;
(Em9)fall ing from the sky
in the night
to the (A7sus)earth be low.
Ooh, no,
Your voice
was n’t in
a bush burn ing.
No, Your voice
was n’t in
a rush ing (F#)wind.
It was still,
it was small,
it was (A)hid
(F#)den.
Oh,
You (Em9)came like a win ter snow:
(Em9)qui et, and (D)soft
and slow;
(Em9)fall ing from the sky
in the night
to the (A7sus)earth be low.
(Asus)You came (Bm)fall ing from the sky
in the night
to the (Asus)earth be low.
