[Intro] G D/F# Em7 Csus2 [Verse 1]
G                    D/F#
Oh what a precious promise

Em7                Bm7
Oh what a gift of love

   C              D
An angel tells a virgin that

G                     C
She's gonna have a son

     G                       D/F#
And though it's a precious promise

    Em7                   Bm7
She wonders how can this be

C                     D
What will the people say

           G
And what if Joseph can't believe

         Am7
And her questions and her fears

    Am7b5                     G
Are met with an overwhelming joy

     D/F#              Em7
That God has chosen her

C                   D/C
Oh what a precious promise

Am7            D               G    D/F# Em7 D/C C
Mary waits as heaven comes to earth
[Verse 2]
G                   D/F#
Oh what a precious promise

Em7                Bm7
Oh what a gift of love

C                  D
Joseph makes his choice to do

    G
What few men would have done

        Am7
To take Mary as his bride

           Am7b5                G
When she's already carrying a child

     D/F#         Em7
That isn't his own

C                   D/C
Oh what a precious promise

Am7            D                G    D/F#
Mary and the child will have a home
[Bridge]
     Em7                  Bm7
And shepherds stand on a hillside

              C               D              C     G
Their hearts racing with the news the angel told them

  Em7                       Bm7
A star's light fills up the dark sky

        C                 G/B          C
As the night of precious promise is unfolding
[Verse 3]
G                   D/F#
Oh what a precious promise

Em7                Bm7
Oh what a gift of love

     C              D
The waiting now is over and

    G
The time has finally come

        Am7
For the God who made this world

   Am7b5
To roll back the curtain

      G                D/F#             Em7
And unveil His passion for the heart of man

C                   D/C
Oh what a precious promise

Am7         D       D#dim    Em7
Lying in a manger in Bethlehem

C
Oh what a precious promise

Am7         D             G   D/F# Em7 C2 G
Lying in a manger in Bethlehem
