The Sovereign Of All Looked Helpless And Small

We have the benefit of being connected to a denomination that produces beautiful, Christ-exalting songs for local churches. This Sunday we learn a new one from their Christmas album. Come ready to sing it this week.

WHO WOULD HAVE DREAMED

VERSE 1 
On a starlit hillside, shepherds watched their sheep 
Slowly, David’s city drifted off to sleep 
But to this little town of no great renown 
The Lord had a promise to keep 

VERSE 2 
Prophets had foretold it, a mighty King would come 
Long awaited Ruler, God’s Anointed One 
But the Sovereign of all looked helpless and small 
As God gave the world His own Son 

CHORUS 
And who would have dreamed or ever foreseen 
That we could hold God in our hands? 
The Giver of Life is born in the night 
Revealing God’s glorious plan 
To save the world 

VERSE 3 
Wondrous gift of heaven: the Father sends the Son 
Planned from time eternal, moved by holy love 
He will carry our curse and death 
He’ll reverse So we can be daughters and sons
