     G
You draw the hearts of shepherds
     A
You draw the hearts of kings
Bm			   D
Even as a baby, You were changing everything
     G
You called me to Your Kingdom

Before Your lips could speak

And even as a baby, You were reaching out for me

And now we are awaiting - the day of Your return
      Bm
When every eye will see You

As heaven comes to earth
  G			    A
Until the sky is opened - until the trumpet sounds 
     Bm
The bride is getting ready
     A/C#
The church is singing out
