Kingdom (Official Video) - Influence Music & Michael Ketterer Chords

My wife Ivy and I have adopted five kids out of foster care.
All our kids have come from pretty desperate situations.
Through the process of adoption, it has taught us so much about the father's heart.
He is not afraid of our brokenness.
It doesn't matter what we are or what we face.
He is going to see us through to the goal. _
_ He took [F] on a sibling set of three.
They came from a drug home.
He was really hardened by his [Dm] life experiences.
I can [F] still remember very clearly the day that me and my wife got the phone [C] call
asking if we'd [Dm] be willing to take a child [Bb] that had shaken infant [F] syndrome.
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
[F] I heard you knocking [C] but I couldn't take it through.
[Dm] See my reflection [F] but I can't make out my face.
I thought I heard a whisper, [C] did you say?
I heard you [Dm] say, oh, oh, oh.
[Bb] _ _ Let on [F] be forgiving, let on [C] be father.
I heard you [Dm] say, oh, oh, oh.
[Bb] _ _ Welcome [F] to the kingdom, my son [C] and daughter. _ _
[Dm] My son, Gerard, he [F] would always complain of these stomach aches.
[C] And so we found out that [Dm] my son had [F] ingested these rocks in his stomach.
He was so hungry and [C] neglected and malnourished where [Dm] he was, he would fill his [D] belly with these rocks in order [Bb] to feel full.
[F] _ Like a wanderer, [C] even shining, started [Dm] flickering.
A voice beyond my [Bb] understanding.
It pulled me [F] in.
It didn't matter [C] where I'd been. _
[Dm] And you knew that I was looking [F] for something, for someone new.
I heard you knocking [C] but I couldn't take the truth.
[Dm] See my reflection [F] but I can't make out my face.
I thought I heard a whisper, [C] did you say?
I heard you [Dm] say, oh, oh, _ [F] _ [Bb] oh.
Let on [F] be forgiving, let on [C] be father.
I heard you [Dm] say, oh, [Bb] oh, oh.
Welcome [F] to the kingdom, my son [C] and daughter.
I heard you [Dm] say, oh, oh, [Bb] _ oh.
Let on [F] be forgiving, let on [C] be father.
I heard you [Dm] say, oh, oh, [F] oh.
[Bb] Welcome [F] to the kingdom, my son [C] and daughter. _ _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ [Bb] _ Let's hear it for the [F] people back here in this corner.
How loud can [C] you be? _ _
[Dm] Let's lift up the name of Jesus [Bb] right now.
God, you are [F] worthy.
You're a good [C] dad. _ _ _
[Dm] Coming to the light, [Bb] coming to the light.
[F] All of heaven's waiting [C] for you, just step inside.
[Dm] Coming to the light, [Bb] coming to the light.
[F] All of heaven's waiting [C] for you, just step inside.
[Dm] Coming to the light.
[Bb] Let _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ on [F] be forgiving, let on [C] be father.
I heard you [Dm] say, oh, oh, oh.
[Bb] _ _ Welcome [F] to the kingdom, my [C] son and daughter.
I heard you [Dm] say, oh, oh, [Bb] oh.
_ Let on [F] be forgiving, let on [C] be father.
I heard you [Dm] say, oh, oh, [Bb] oh.
_ Welcome [C] to the kingdom, my son and daughter. _ _
[F] _ To actually [Bb] care for an orphan and see [Dm] transformation in their life
requires [C] a _ tenacity as a [F] parent.
The Bible calls it having a [Bb] face like flint,
meaning that you will [Dm] not give up no matter what it [C] looks like,
no matter what tomorrow might [F] bring,
no matter what hidden thing that you had nothing to do with
becomes uncovered in your child, some trauma from their past.
We are willing to engage our child and see them through,
to see them healed and set free. _ _ _ _
