[Intro] F Bb [Verse I]
F
The picture in the book had 'em smiling

                    Bb
with halos on their heads
Sitting in a stable
       F
Their eyes up to the skies, a light was shining down

     Bb
on them. But this was no fable

          Dm                        C
They were fighting for a life, on a dark and desperate night

   Bb                          F
Cause there was no room at the inn

       Dm                      C
In the middle of the fight, as Mary starts to cry,

Bb                    C
Joseph was left wondering
[Chorus]
                          Bb
If this is where our hope begins

     F                    C
Hallelujah, a baby's cries pierce the night

                        Bb
This is where our hope begins

     F                            C
Hallelujah, he's come to earth to give us light

             Dm              C             Bb
So if you're broken down and beaten to the floor

      Dm                 C                Bb
Just remember you're the one he came here for

C
This is where our hope begins
[Verse II]
      F                                                          Bb
There was no silent night, nothing peaceful 'bout that Christmas day
There in the stable
            F
Through the sweat and through the fear, in the hurting and the tears,

   Bb
he came. And he was able

   Dm                   C
To open up our eyes, to fill our hearts with light

Bb                      F
Showing us our father's plan

       Dm                           C
In the middle of the night, when we have no strength to fight

Bb                                 C
Sometimes it's hard for us to understand
[Chorus]
                          Bb
If this is where our hope begins

     F                    C
Hallelujah, a baby's cries pierce the night

                        Bb
This is where our hope begins

     F                            C
Hallelujah, he's come to earth to give us light

             Dm              C             Bb
So if you're broken down and beaten to the floor

      Dm                 C                Bb
Just remember you're the one he came here for

C                      Bb
This is where our hope begins
[Bridge]
           F                   C
In the hardship, when you're broken

                          Bb
This is where your hope begins

               F                    C
When you're weary, your prayers unspoken
[Chorus]
    F                                                      Bb
The picture in the book had him smiling with a halo on his head

    F                                                 Bb
His eyes up to the skies, a light was shining down on him

       Dm                         C
But if we could really see how he looked upon that tree

    Bb                       F
The nails driven through his hands

       Dm                       C
In the middle of the storm, his body wrecked and torn

    Bb                             C
Sometimes it's hard for us to understand
[Chorus]
                         Bb          F
This is where our hope begins, hallelujah

                   C
Our savior's cries pierced the night

                         Bb          F
This is where our hope begins, hallelujah

                    C
He came to earth to give us life
[Ending]
               Dm            C             Bb
So if you're broken down and beaten on the floor

       Dm                C                Bb
Just remember you're the one he came here for

               Dm            C             Bb
So if you're broken down and beaten on the floor

C                          F    Bb   F
This is where your hope begins.
