    An angel tells a virgin that
A   G                      C
    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
  
            Am
    And her questions and her fears

    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

        Em7                  Bm
    And shepherds stand on a hillside
                 C               D              C    G     C G
    Their hearts racing with the news the angel told them
      Em7                       Bm
    A star's light fills up the dark sky
           C                 G6 B         C
    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
                               Em
