(Intro)
G
Shining down from the Father of lights
D
Every good thing in my life
G
Raining down from the Father of lights
G
They come down from the Father of lights
(Verse 1)
CG/BDG
One bright star burns away my darkness
CG/BDG
One true hope gives me strength to stand
D/F#Emi DEmi
And my soul has found a resting place
Ami D
In the hollow of God's hand
Emi D
Every river I could not cross
Emi D
Every dream that the wind has tossed
Emi D
Sting of failure, the pain of loss
CG/BD
They all just fade away
G
And the love comes down
(Chorus)
G
Shining down from the Father of lights
D
Every good thing in my life
GD
There's no doubt about it I can see
G
Raining down from the Father of lights
D
Through the sacred sacrifice
G
Now he pours his blessings
GD/F#Emi D
Down on me, down on me
CG
They come down from the Father of lights
(Verse 2)
CG/BDG
I have learned to embrace the laughter,
CG/BDG
To see the beauty in the simple things
GD/F#Emi DEmi
And my heart has found the freedom
Ami D
A childlike faith can bring
Emi D
Faith in more than I see or feel
Emi D
Faith in something that’s much more real
Emi D
The one thing even death can't steal
CG/BD
It never fades away
G
And the love comes down
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
F
Down from the Father
G
Down from the Father
AF
Down from the Father of lights
(Music Break)

(Verse 3)
Emi D
This pearl beyond all price
Emi D
Is worth every sacrifice
Emi D
Give my soul and not think twice
CG/BD
It never fades away
CG/BD
It never fades away
(Chorus)
