   With fire for all to see
           Em     D         G       Bm7      C
   Brought ev-'ry tribe and na-tion to their knees 
              Em       D       G
   Ar-riv-ing with the host of heav-en
      C               G
   In ro-yal robe and crown
       Em7     D      G         Bm7     C
   The rul-ers of the earth all bow-ing down

Am7              Em             Dsus4     D
   But You chose meek-ness over ma-jes-ty
Am              Em           Dsus    D
   Wrapped Your po-wer in hu-man-i-ty

2. You could have marched in all Your glo-ry
      C               G
   In-to the heart of Rome
   Em          D         G           G/B    C
   Showed them splen-dor like they'd nev-er known
           Em      D       G
   But You wrote a bet-ter sto-ry
      C               G
   In hum-ble Beth-le-hem
       Em    D      G       G/B     C
   Cre-a-tor in the arms of com-mon men

            Am             Em      
   You will die for our re-demp-tion
              Dsus4          D
   And You'll rise so we can live
