Ordinary People Lyrics

A child in the distance
Playing in the rain
The sweet sound of water
Flowing away
Construction worker
Coming home from work
Two parents and their children going to church
Happy little baby drools on your shirt
One extraordinary day

[CHORUS]
Let us have a world of ordinary people
Living life the way God wants us to
And if we have a world of ordinary people
Extraordinary things
Could happen through me and you
Me and you

Ordinary Abraham
He was just a man
But he'd kill his son
For the price of a lamb
And let us consider
Ordinary Job who lost it all
But in God had his hope
Ordinary David
The little shepherd boy
Brought down Goliath
With a stone and a toy
Sweet little Jesus
Ordinary child
The carpenter's first son
Humble and mild
If anybody told you
He‘d be Messiah
You probably would laugh it off I know

[CHORUS ]
So let us have a world of ordinary people
Living life the way God wants us to
And if we have a world of ordinary people
Extraordinary things
Will happen to me and you

Every little baby
Has the power to be great and
Every tall tree grew up from some mustard seed

No ordinary children going off the war
Cos no single leader is worth dying for
No ordinary mother will cry herself to sleep
Cos no ordinary father
Will come home after three

[CHORUS]
So let us have a world of ordinary people
Living life the way God wants us to
And if we have a world of ordinary people
Extraordinary things ... oooooohooo
Let us have a world of ordinary people
Living life the way God wants us to
And if we have a world of ordinary people
Extraordinary things
Will happen to me

Let us have a world of ordinary people
Living life the way God wants us to
If we have a world of ordinary people
Extraordinary things
Will happen through me

La la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la (If we have a world yeah)
La la la la la la la la la la
(Extraordinary) Extraordinary things Will happen to me
Extraordinary things will happen through me
Will happen through me and you
