[Verse 1]
  G     D/F#      Em7
A long, long time ago

    Am                   C            Em            D
A lovely couple made a jounery, to a town called Bethlehem

      G     D/F#     Em7
Well Mary traveled great with child

   Am            C        G
Somehow knowing all the while

      Em                C                  D
That one day all would bow their knees to Him

Em            Am               Em                   Am
Born of God, yet born of man, part of His Father's master plan

C         G     Am            C          D
Yet this Holy Stranger, lay crudly in a manger

G       D/F#                  Em7
It's something that I can't explain,

        Am                             D
that He'll say the world Yet take it's blame

     G       D/F#             Em7
But things will never be the same,

C              D     G
The day, the Savior came

G    C            G        D
My, My can’t you feel it inside?
[Chorus]
        G          C             G                      D
There's no other like a brother who would lay down his life.

G                    C     G            D
He was sent by the Father just to be crucified

Em                           A7
so that you and I will never die,

Em                   D7
You and I will never die.
[Verse 2]
   G                 Am
Shepherds watching flocks by night

 C                               Am
when there came a frightening brilliant light,

Em                D
shining in the midnight sky

             G       D/F#              Em7
Well the shepherds fell down to their knees

Am                     C
as the angels voices would not cease

Em                     A7                D
but they sang of good will and sang of peace

Em                            D
Well they told the shepherds “Do not fear because

Em                        D
God is with us and He is near”

C           G            A7
They leapt up to their feet

     C                     D7
and they ran down to the streets!

         G   D/F#                  Em7
And as they found the stable in Bethlehem

      Am              C
a tiny baby greeted them.

G              D/F#                    Em
Their lives would change when they saw Him

C              D     G
the day the Savior came

        C        G
They started singing
[Chorus]
G    C            G        D
My, My can’t you feel it inside?

        G          C             G                      D
There's no other like a brother who would lay down his life.

G                    C     G            D
He was sent by the Father just to be crucified

Em                           A7
so that you and I will never die,

Em                   D7
You and I will never die.
[Verse 3]
          G                         Am
Well He grew up, pure and straight and strong.

        C                      Am           Em                  D
Then preached so boldly in a synagogue with holy wisdom from above.

         G        D/F#     Em7
He was raised to work His hands in wood,

      Am            C              Em            A7               D
but mother Mary understood He was born as God’s gift of perfect love.

         Em                   D                  Em                     D
Well He came to John to be baptized which was pleasing to His Father’s eyes

      G            D/F#           Em                   D
the Spirit then descended so the world could then be mended.

      Am                                   C                Em7
And as He left His home in Galilee, to start His earthly ministry

     G          D/F#        Em7
it changed the course of history

C              D     G
the day the Savior came

     C       G
We started singing,
[Chorus]
G    C            G        D
My, My can’t you feel it inside?

        G          C             G                      D
There's no other like a brother who would lay down his life.

G                    C     G            D
He was sent by the Father just to be crucified

Em                           A7
so that you and I will never die,

Em                   D7
You and I will never die.
[Verse 4]
  G                 Em7
For forty days our Lord was empty,

  C                      Am
Satan lied and He was tempted but

  Em                  D
through it all He did not sin.

     G         D/F#           Em7            Am7                   C
Well He gathered up twelve common men, that gave up all to follow Him

          Em              A           D
for He showed them God’s love from within

      Em                                 D
Yeah, He healed the sick, the lame, the blind.

Em                                   D
He fed five thousand on a mountain side.

    C       G      A7          C                       D
To Lazarus He was led, so He could raise him from the dead.

        G         D/F#           Em7            Am7                   C
And the disciples witnessed everything the carpenter would be their king.

 G         D/F#           Em7
No wonder angels had to sing

C              D     G
the day the Savior came

       C        G
They were singing
[Chorus]
G    C            G        D
My, My can’t you feel it inside?

        G          C             G                      D
There's no other like a brother who would lay down his life.

He was sent by the Father just to be crucified

Em                           A7
so that you and I will never die,

You and I will never die.
[Verse 5]
          G                      Am
Well the time came, Jesus was betrayed

       C                              Am
His faithful scattered they were so afraid.

     Em                          D
He faced His trials without a friend.

          G     D/F#        Em7
He was whipped and beaten to the ground

      Am                         C
and mocked a king with a thorny crown

     Em             A7          D
and yet He forgave them in the end.

       Em                  D
Well He died nailed to a wooden cross,

       Em                             D
for the next three days all hope was lost

     C          G       A7
but God had a world to save

         C                  D
So He raised Him from the grave

        G           D/F#               Em7
and as He let His friends know all is well

      Em                Am       C
that He kicked in the gates of hell

       G           D/F#          Em7
the powers of sin and darkness fell

C              D     G
the day the Savior came

        C       G
They started singing
[Chorus]

My, My can’t you feel it inside?

You and I will never die.
[Verse 6]
        G     D/F#      Em7
Though it’s been two thousand years,

      Am             C              D
the reason for the season remains clear,

     Em                      D
yet some people still have doubts.

      G       D/F#        Em7
Some will say its just a tale

         Am                C
others choose a different trail

          Em                   C               D
and this gift from God, they’d rather live without.

       Em                      Am
This story’s more than just a rhyme

      Em                     Am
it’s more than church at Christmas time.

     C        G             Am7
It’s a gift that keeps on living

    C                D
a love that keeps forgiving.

        G         D/F#        Em
God’s master plan had been deployed,

      Am          C            D
from what started as His baby boy.

C              D     G
the day the Savior came
[Chorus]
G    C            G        D
My, My can’t you feel it inside?

        G          C             G                      D

You and I will never die.
