In rumours of old, whispers from the heavens Prophets foretold, of signs and seasons One who would come, through the line of David A Bethlehem King, of whom angels would sing Would we recognise God If He came without gold, without riches and Spent His first night on earth With the wanderers and wisemen and shepherds? Born unto men, and born the King of angels Let us come adore Him, in the starlit manger His name shall be great, and His kingdom evеr lasting Find the Ancient of Days, in the еyes of this babe (But) Would we recognise God If He lay in the hay like a poor man, with No appearance of might Nor beauty or rank or importance? Would we recognise God As a foreigner seeking asylum, who Had to flee in the night Without any place to reside in? I will receive Him, this King of heaven Prepare Him room within my soul, oh oh Love's revelation The King of glory come in humble form Emmanuel is born I will receive Him, this King of heaven Prepare Him room within my soul, oh oh Love's revelation The King of glory come in humble form Emmanuel is born ♪ Would you recognise God As He played on the knee of a virgin? Learned to speak, learned to walk Divine but in every way human Would you recognise God If He came and He carried your burden? Lived a man on the earth So that every man might come to know Him Would you know Him then?
