Intro: G D6/F# Em7 C
S [G]Oh what a precious [D6]pro[F#]mise
[E]C [Em7]Oh what a gift of [Bm]love
T C D
An angel tells a virgin that
[A] [G]She's gonna have a son[C]
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 [Am]questions and her fears
S Am7 Adim G
E Are met with an overwhelming joy
[C]T That [D6]God[F#] has chosen [Em7]her
B [CM7]Oh what a precious promise
Am7 D G (play intro)
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 [Em7]shepherds stand on a [Bm]hillside
Their hearts [C]racing with the [D]news the angel [C]told [G]them[C] [G]
A [Em7]star's light fills up the [Bm]dark sky
As the [C]night of precious [G6]pro[B]mise is un[C]folding
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 Bethle[Em]hem
[CM7]Oh what a precious promise
Am D G (play intro) G
Lying in a manger in Bethlehem
