[Intro] Gm Dm Gm C F Dm Gm C [Verse 1]
           F                               Dm
Well the news spread through Jerusalem, "Tonight a child is born.

          Gm                                    Bb                C
There are shepherds fallin' to their knees, and angels blowin' horns."

             F                           Dm
But in their golden halls, the Pharisees scoffed and drank their wine

                 Gm                             Bb          C
They said, "It's only Hebrew prophesy, we don't care, and besides

     Am     Bb  C              F
He's just a kid, that's all He is

Dm                C            Dm             G
One more pebble in the gravel, one more rumor in the rabble

                C                   F  Dm C
How can He be king? He's just a kid."
[Verse 2]
     F                                  Dm
Well in no time, it seemed the world was knockin' on His door

    Gm                                  Bb            C
Performed miracles and wonders they had never seen before.

          F                               Dm
Soon, the Pharisees stopped laughin', the silver sum was paid.

    Gm                                Bb               C
And near the end He knelt down in the garden and He prayed,

     Am     Bb  C             F
"I'm just a kid, that's all I am.

     Dm                    C                  Dm            G
I'll need Your strength to see me through it. If it is Your will I'll do it.

                   C                  F
But how can I be king? I'm just a kid."
[Bridge]
      Ab              Bb  C        F
Now I think about the Baby and the Man at Christmas time

   Ab                Gm     C    F
Of mothers, sons and fathers and children just like mine

          Ab          Bb            F
About the power and unselfishness, love and sacrifice

     Ab                 Eb            C    D
The Gift that we were given and the price
[Verse 3]
            G                                Em
And how the news spread through Jerusalem, "Tonight a child is born.

          Am                                      C               D
There are shepherds falling to their knees, and angels blowin' horns."

         G                                Em
I wonder how on Earth the Pharisees could scoff and drink their wine

               Am                             C           D
And say, "He's only Hebrew prophesy, we don't care, and besides

     Bm     C   D              G
He's just a kid, that's all He is

Em                D            Em             A
One more pebble in the gravel, one more rumor in the rabble

                    D                   G
And how can He be king? He's just a kid."
[Tag]
    Am              D                  G  Em  Am D G
Oh, how can He be king? He's just a kid.
