       D    D/F#    G                  A       D
Just a tiny nowhere town, with a tiny, no-room inn

This is where the greatest story  ever told begins

             D    D/F#    G                      A       Bm
Where just a tiny beating heart had all creation leaning in

It's where a star led  to  a stable, a baby's cry made angels sing

        D         D/F#   G      D/F#   G        A      D
And the search to find a savior led to Heaven's humble King

          D        D/F#      G                     A         Bm
Where the wise men found the answer, the shepherds found the lamb

    D       A/C#      Bm     A    G        A     D
And I found  my  Im - manu - el because of Bethlehem
[Chorus 1]

Heaven's light has made the darkness disappear

God with us all because of Bethlehem

From a child  in  a cradle to a king upon a cross

   D        D/F#     G       D/F#   G     A       D
He knew the road was leading Him to pay a crimson cost

            D     D/F#       G                   A       Bm
And when no other arms could carry the weight of all our sin

   D        A/C#        Bm       A     G        A     D
He took the fall and it happened all because of Bethlehem

From a tomb that love left empty to a Father's right hand throne

      D       D/F#    G      D/F#   G           A         D
And a promise He's preparing  us  a place we'll soon call home

       D       D/F#       G                A     Bm
He who came to earth from heaven is coming back again
