C#m A
A long time ago, so they say
B C#m
A baby boy was born
C#m A
In the cold on a bed made of hay
B C#m
That blessed Christmas morn
A C#m
The sky was dark, but a star shone bright
B C#m
Three kings came from afar
A C#m
To bring Him riches He couldn’t afford
B C#m
To worship Christ the Lord

Mary knelt by His side as she prayed
Her heart was filled with joy
Angels and shepherds and kings gathered near
To see her baby boy
The world was cold, but their hearts were warm
They knew He was the King
A C#m
The heavenly hosts filled the sky with their song
B G#Maj A
The whole world heard them sing (Hear them singing)

A B C#m
Gloria . Hallelujah
A B C#m
Gloria . Amen

Age thirty-three, not a boy, but a man; this humble King
He lived His whole life without telling a lie
He never did one sinful thing
A
Still we think that we’re better than God
C#m
Know that we’re never wrong
B C#m
We lie just to make ourselves look strong
A
So we hung Him upon a tree
C#m
We pierced Him for all to see
B G#Maj A
We heard His dying cry (Hear Him crying)

A B C#m
Gloria . Hallelujah
A B G#min A
Gloria . Amen
C#m B
Amen
G#m A C#m B G#m G#Maj
Ahhhhh Ahhhh Gloria Gloria Ahhhhhhh

C#m A
Some say just a story, but others the truth
B C#m
It’s up to you
C#m A
But we don’t want to think that we’re not in control
B C#m
So we say that believers are fools
A
We live for ourselves each day
C#m
We love, but in selfish ways
B C#m
We give much less than we take
A C#m
Maybe someday we’ll see the love of this baby King
B
Can save us all
G#Maj A
And then we’ll join to sing

A B C#m
Gloria . Hallelujah
A B C#m
Gloria . Amen
