    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

           C (x32010@1)               G6B         C (x32010@1)   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
