Heaven Turned Out to Be a Child lyrics

Who believe the tales we heard?

Such a strange and mighty story

From an ancient sender

So illogical and wild

Still we value this old word

That when heaven full of glory

Came to show its splendor

It turned out to be a child

Shepherds, cattle, a stable poor

What a frame for kings, what a scenery

Far from all wealth on an earthy floor

This is how God tells us His love is free

Then into my life He came

He was born in my heart's chamber

Rose from my horizon

Like a sun so strong and mild

When He called me by my name

I awoke from my sweet slumber

And He became my wise man

I received Him like a child

Life's so sinful and thoughts unclear

What a place for someone so true divine

Far from all power, from force and fear

This is how God tells me His love is mine

Heaven came so strong and mild

It turned out to be a child
