Isaiah saw that it would come, beginning from Jerusalem

In the last days to ev’ry tongue, to ev’ry nation

And offering salvation to a world of broken hearts

The scholars looked for Him in vain, their earthly king he never came 
  E             B                  A              B 
Instead a carpenter would start, a Kingdom of the heart 
    E                 B                       A            B 
And beaten bruised He stretched His hands, as God became a dying man 
    E                 B           A                  B 
And King on cross was sacrificed, for the church His bride

And offering salvation to a world of broken hearts 
 E                B                A                   B            E

    E                B              A              B 
And now this kingdom is our own, we bow before His heav’nly throne 
    E                   B                   A                 B 
And pledge our lives to His great cause, to seek and save the lost 
    E             B              A                  B 
And ev’rywhere in ev’ry word, we share with all who have not heard 
 E                   B                    A                  B 
About the truth that sets men free, which prophets longed to see 
 
B             C#m             A          E           B 
That would be great among the nations, a fire from a spark

So great among the nations, bringing sunlight to the dark

And offering salvation to a world of broken hearts 
 E                B                A                   B            E 
Among the nations there would be a movement that would change eternity
