  			G 
He came from the mountain 
G                 C 
To walk among the wounded 
G/B  C2      A/C#  D 
They couldn't see him 
        Am       Bm 
But the snow did melt 
Bm                 Em 
whenever he passed by 

G 
He came behind winter 
G                     C 
His face was like the sun 
G/B  C2     A/C#  D 
They wouldn't see it 
       Am          Bm 
But he sang on the bank 
Bm                 Em 
And made the waters run 

       G    C/G G 
In his world we wait 
       G    C/G  G 
In his hands our fate 
        C    Em 
Keep on climbing 
         Am7 
We shall see his gate 
        C/G  G 
In good time 

G 
He came to the lowlands 
G                 C 
He said we must have faces 
G/B  C2      A/C#  D 
So we could see like him 
  Am       Bm 
Before our wings 
Bm                 Em 
would ever come to fly 


       G    C/G G 
In his world we wait 
       G    C/G  G 
In his hands our fate 
        C    Em 
Keep on climbing 
         Am7 
We shall see his gate 
        C/G  G 
In good time
