Intro
S Oh what a precious promise
C Oh what a gift of love
T
An angel tells a virgin that
She's gonna have a son
And though it's a precious promise
A She wonders how can this be
What will the people say
And what if Joseph can't believe
And her questions and her fears
S
E Are met with an overwhelming joy
T That God has chosen her
B Oh what a precious promise
Mary waits as heaven comes to earth
Oh what a precious promise
A Oh what a gift of love
Joseph makes his choice to do
What few men would have done
To take Mary as his bride
When she's already carrying a child
B That isn't his own
Oh what a precious promise
Mary and the child will have a home
And shepherds stand on a hillside
Their hearts racing with the news the angel told them
A star's light fills up the dark sky
As the night of precious promise is unfolding
Oh what a precious promise
A Oh what a gift of love
The waiting now is over and
The time has finally come
For the God who made this world
To roll back the curtain and unveil
B His passion for the heart of man
Oh what a precious promise
Lying in a manger in Bethlehem
Oh what a precious promise
Lying in a manger in Bethlehem
