[Verse]
    Am                 Dm
The Lord God said when time was full

          Am                    G    E
He would shine His light in the darkness

   Am            Dm
He said a virgin would conceive

Am                    G   Am
And give birth to the Promise

      Dm                 Am 
For a thousand years the dreamers dreamt

    G                E
And hoped to see His love

    Am                   Dm
The Promise showed their wildest dreams

    Am              G    Am
Had simply not been wild enough

        Am                   Dm
But the Promise showed their wildest dreams

    Am              G    Am
Had simply not been wild enough
[Chorus]
    C                        G
The Promise was love and the Promise was life

    Am                         E
The Promise meant light to the world

Am                Dm
Living proof that Yahweh saves

        Am                      G  Am
For the name of the Promise was Jesus
[Verse]
    Am               Dm
The Faithful One saw time was full

        Am                 G    E
And the ancient pledge was honored

   Am               Dm
So God the Son, the Incarnate One

    Am              G   Am
His final Word, His own Son

    Dm            Am
Was born in Bethlehem

           G                E
But came into our hearts to live

     Am                  Dm
What more could God have given, tell me

     Am          G       Am
What more did He have to give

     Am                  Dm
What more could God have given, tell me

     Am          G       Am
What more did He have to give
[Chorus]
    C                        G
The Promise was love and the Promise was life

    Am                         E
The Promise meant light to the world

Am                Dm
Living proof that Yahweh saves

        Am                      G  Am
For the name of the Promise was Jesus

    C                        G
The Promise was love and the Promise was life

    Am                         E
The Promise meant light to the world

Am                Dm
Living proof that Yahweh saves

        Am                      G  Am
For the name of the Promise was Jesus

Am                Dm
Living proof that Yahweh saves

        Am                      G E Am
For the name of the Promise was Jesus
