[Verse 1]
There's a stCory that started on ChGristmas
When a baCby was born in the nGight
And thoFse who came far, who fCollowed this star
Were sAmeeing a heFavenly sGight G
a heavenly siBbghtF. F C Bb F F G
Well the yeCars hurried Amby, and the Gboy, now a mCan
Could mAmake the blind seFe with a touBbch of his hand
He was bAmorn to be KiFng he was RaCbbi and Priest
But the bAmest that he Fhad, he gGave to the least
He gave to the leBbastF. F C
[Verse 2]
He was bForn and he dAmied, almost 2,G000 yeaCrs ago
He lauFghed and he cAmried, he fGelt all the feCars we know
But wFhat does it maAmtter? A sGtory so stA2range
Even iBbf it is true, wGhat does it change?
What does it change? Bb F Bb F
Well he spCoke like a prAmophet like nGo one they'd hCeard
This siAmmple young carpFenter crowBbds hung on every word
He haAmted injusFtice CHe taught what is right
He sAmaid "I'm the wFay, and the tGruth, and the light."
[Verse 3]
His friFends soon beliAmeved that trGuly he waCs the one.
The SaviFor, MessAmiah, GodG's one and oCnly son.
But otFhers, they dAmoubted, they dGid not agA2ree
So they tDmook him, they tried him,
He dFied on a tGree
He died on a tCree.
[Bridge]
GFod has made a wCay
for aGll who moAmurn and grieve
DeFath will nCever Ambe the enGd
Fif you juGst belCieve.
[Verse 4]
CThere is nothing left to fear
notAmhing HeGaven knCows
For he dFied for Gus to gAmive us lGife
and to gFive us hGope He rCose
He diFed for Gus to gAmive us liGfe
And to gFive us Ghope He rCose.
