What If
VERSION 1
Verse
What if tonight is the moment God planned
From eternity's edge to the palm of his hand?
What if the walls start crumbling down,
And strongholds break at the sound of His name?
What if your story's not over, not done-
But just now beginning, with grace on the run?
In your heart, your home, your health, your song?
What if… He's here, right now, all along?
Chorus
What if he's here
with love for your heart
What if he's waiting
to give you a part
What if he loves you more than you know
Verse
What if His greatness no mind can contain, And mercy flows like unending rain? What if each day He's near to the broken, With love more faithful than words have spoken?
What if generations rise and sing, Of the kindness poured by Heaven's King? What if He's slow to anger, rich in grace- And you're standing now in His holy place?
Chorus
What if he's here
with love for your heart
What if he's waiting
to give you a part
What if he loves you more than you know
Bridge
What if the Shepherd is guiding your way, Through valleys of shadow to light of day? What if your cup is starting to overflow- And you're dwelling in love wherever you go?
Chorus
What if he's here
with love for your heart
What if he's waiting
to give you a part
What if he loves you more than you know
What if he's here
with love for your heart
What if he's waiting
to give you a part
What if he loves you more than you know
