(Chorus)
F              C  Bb  Am  F     Bb            F   Bb  C  Bb
Why should the Father bother to call us His children?
F              C   Bb Am   F  Bb           C7
Why should the Spirit hear it    when we pray?
F              C  Bb  Am  F     Bb    Am                    Dm   C
Why should the Father bother to be concerned with all our needs?
F          C     Bb Am   Bb  C       F    Bb  C  Bb  F  Bb
It's all because of what the Son has done

C     Bb                        F
  Once we were lost out on the ocean
          C7             Bb
With no direction or devotion
F               Bb               C7
Tossed about by every wind and wave
           Bb                F
Now we are in the world not of it
       C7             Dm
We can surely rise above it
  Bb                 Gm7     C7sus4    F  Bb  C  Bb
Because the Lord has risen from the grave

Repeat (Chorus)

Once we were strangers from the promise
We were doubters worse than Thomas
Until the Spirit opened up our eyes
Now He has offered us adoption
And we have taken up the option
To be His family eternally

Repeat (Chorus)
Last line:
F          C     Bb Am   Bb  C       F    Bb  C  Bb
It's all because of what the Son has done
F          C     Bb Am   Bb  C       F    C7sus4  C  F
It's all because of what the Son has done

  I hear music coming from heaven
B           A        B         A
  Singing a new song   in my direction
F#m7            E       B          A
     I hear the melody,   heavenly symphony
F#m7                 E       B         A
     Feelings coming over me   sets my spirit free
                                     Emaj9  F#m7  Emaj9  F#m7
I feel like I've been born all over again

(Verse 1)
Emaj9                          F#m7                 Emaj9  F#m7
      Like a songbird in the canyon it echoes in my mind
Emaj9                               F#m7                    Emaj9  F#m7
      Taking me farther from the memories of things I left behind
F#m                      E
    And it's taken me so long to hear
G#m                   C#m     A            B
    The music playing softly, softly in my ear

E  B  E  C  G  D

(Chorus)
E  F#m  E           A     G#m  A
Yahweh love, Yahweh love, Yahweh love
A  G#m  A           A     B  E
Yahweh love, Yahweh love, Yahweh
E  F#m  E           A     G#m  A
Yahweh love, Yahweh love, Yahweh love
A  G#m  A           A     B  E
Yahweh love, Yahweh love, Yahweh

E  B  A  E  E  B  A  E

(Verse 2)
I see a sign on every corner leading me astray
I hear a thousand voices calling for me to walk away
But when I listen closely I can hear
The music playing softly, softly in my ear

Repeat (Chorus)
Fade out
