(Intro)
Shining down from the Father of lights
Every good thing in my life
Raining down from the Father of lights
They come down from the Father of lights
(Verse 1)
One [G/B]bright
star burns away my da
rkness
One [G/B]true ho
pe gives me strength
to stand
A[D/F#]nd my
soul has
found a
resting place
In the hollow of
God’s hand
Every river I co
uld not cross
Every dream that the win
d has tossed
Sting of failure, the pa
in of loss
They all just f[G/B]ade a
way
And the love comes down
(Chorus)
Shining down from the Father of lights
Every good thing in my life
There’s no doubt about it I can
see
Raining down from the Father of lights
Through the sacred sacrifice
Now he pours his blessings
Dow[D/F#]n on
me, down on
me
They come down from
the Father of lights
(Verse 2)
I ha[G/B]ve lear
ned to embrace the la
ughter,
To s[G/B]ee the
beauty in the simple
things
And[D/F#] my h
eart has fo
und the
freedom
A childlike faith can
bring
Faith in more than I s
ee or feel
Faith in something thatR
17;s much more real
The one thing even dea
th can’t steal
It never [G/B]fades a
way
And the love comes down
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
Down from the Father
Down from the Father
Down from the Father of ligh
ts
(Music Break)
(Verse 3)
This pearl beyon
d all price
Is worth every s
acrifice
Give my soul and not think twice
It never[G/B] fades a
way
It never[G/B] fades a
way
(Chorus)
