[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]

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
