The Light We Follow

[Verso 1] Am Em We travelled in winter, the nights without end. Am Dsus2 The silence was heavy, no comfort, no friend. Am Em The camels grew restless, the roads gave no cheer, Am Dsus2 Yet still the star burned, it kept daring near. [Verso 2] Am Em We left what was certain, our thrones an our gold, Am Dsus2 To follow a secret the prophets foretold. Am Em The heavens were singing, though few understood, Am D A promise was breaking the night for the good. Interlude Am Em Am G Oooohh [Refrão] Am Em At last we arrived where the star came to rest, Am Dsus2 A dwelling of shadows, yet heaven was dressed Am Em No palace of marble, no trupmet, no flame, Am D But a mother who whispered the infant's name. Am Em We opened our treasures though all seemed too small Am Dsus2 Before the Eternal made flesh for us all. Am Em Infinity breathing, eternity near, Am D The birth of a kingdom, the end of our fear. Interlude Am Am [Verso 3] Am Em We returned by another way, warned in a dream, Am Dsus2 But nothing remained as it once had seemed. Am Em The idols lay hollow, our wisdom undone, Am D For crowns bowed low to the only Son. [Verso 4] Am Em The journey was longer, yet light was made clear, Am Dsus2 The veil had been lifted, Immanuel here. Am Em We carried the secret, both burden and flame, Am D The child our prize, Jesus Christ is His name! Outro Am Em Immanuel Am G Immanuel Am Em Immanuel Am G Immanuel Am
