Misc Praise Songs – Gods Surprise (Guitar)

G         Am         D7       G
Who would think that what was needed

C       Am6      D7       G
To transform and save the earth

G         Am   D7      G
Might not be a plan or army,

C        Am6      D7        G
Proud in purpose, proved in worth?

G         Dm/F      E      Am
Who would think, despite derision,

Am7    Bm7          Cmaj7    D7
That a child should lead the way?

G      Am     D7         G
God surprises earth with heaven,

C      Am6     D7        G
Coming here on Christmas Day.

G         Am        D7       G
Shepherds watch and wise men wonder,

C        Am6       D7     G
Monarchs scorn and angels sing;

G      Am       D7         G
Such a place as none would reckon

C       Am6  D7       G
Hosts a holy helpless thing;

G      Dm/F       E         Am
Stable beasts and by-passed strangers

Am7     Bm7  Cmaj7   D7
Watch a baby laid in hay:

G      Am     D7         G
God surprises earth with heaven

C      Am6     D7        G
Coming here on Christmas Day.

G      Am      D7        G
Cen-tu-ries of skill and science

C        Am6       D7       G
Span the past from which we move,

G      Am        D7         G
Yet ex-pe-rience questions whether,

C         Am6       D7    G
With such progress, we im-prove.

G         Dm/F  E      Am
While the human lot we ponder,

Am7      Bm7       Cmaj7   D7
Lest our hopes and hu-mour fray,

G      Am     D7         G
God surprises earth with heaven

C      Am6     D7        G
Coming here on Christmas Day.
