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.
