Jars of Clay - Bethlehem town

Oh, Mary, Joseph, rest your ^Am/Eeyes Try not to think of the ^Em11ending World full of empty, He will ^Am/Edie But tonight He is ^D/F#still just a ^Em11child

The silent night drifts all a^Am/Eway And the angels are dancing a^Em9round you There's the joy of knowing He'll save^G5 the world Over^C5add9shadowing the^G5/B pain that He'll^Am go through

Have yo^C5add9u cursed at the wind Have yo^G5/Bu cried to the heavens Have yo^Am7u fought with thi^D/F#s mercy yo^G5u don't understand When th^C5add9e wise men kneel down G5/B Amadd9/E E Am To kiss the hand of this king they found In ^Ebdim7Bethlehem^Em9 town

Will you hold back the years^Am/E a while Will you dream that this man could al^Em9ways be a child And never carry all the ^G5weight Of the ^C5add9dirt and the ^G5/Bdistance and the^Am company we keep

Have yo^C5add9u cursed at the wind Have yo^G5/Bu cried to the heavens Have yo^Am7u fought with thi^D/F#s mercy yo^G5u don't understand When th^C5add9e wise men kneel down G5/B Amadd9/E E Am To kiss the hand of this king they found In ^Ebdim7Bethlehem^Em9 town

And did t^Che stars shine mu^A7/C#ch brighter th^Dat night You gav^Ce birth to th^A7/C#e death that woul^Dd bring us t^Ebdim7o life And did t^Em9he mystery keep yo^G7u awake Was th^Ce sound of Hi^G/Bs little hear^At too much to take

When th^C5add9e wise men kneel down G5/B Amadd9/E E Am Ebdim7 To kiss the hand of this king they found

Have yo^C5add9u cursed at the wind Have yo^G5/Bu cried to the heavens Have yo^Am7u fought with thi^D/F#s mercy yo^G5u don't understand When th^C5add9e wise men kneel down G5/B Amadd9/E E Am To kiss the hand of this king they found In ^Ebdim7Bethlehem^Em9 town
