D5
All my life, I've waited and watched
through the eyes of faith
D5                        F5 C5 D5
To see the consolation of Israel
D5
And even though the flame of my life
is now growing dim

I know I'll see the Savior of Israel
F5                              C5
For the Spirit of the Lord has promised unto me
F5
That I would not see death
          C5              D5
before my eyes have seen Him
F5                         C5
The promise is alive, for through this little child
F5                                C5  D5
God's holy light illuminates Jerusalem

This child will cause the falling
and rising of many souls
D5                           F5 C5 D5

D5
This child will be the way and the life unto every soul
D5                            F5  C5     D5
To every generation shall the Gentiles tell

For the way has been prepared
C5
in the sight of every man
F5                                     C5 D5
The Son of God Himself is born in Bethlehem
F5                      C5
A sacrifice is made in the temple on this day
F5                                 C5 D5
Redemption reaches far beyond Jerusalem


D5 F5              C5                   D5

(This stuff is sung over the chorus at the end, with the chords from the last chorus)
When all the world was sleeping deep in darkness
A child in Bethlehem fulfilled the promise
The ancients prophesied a great deliverer
The one to break the curse of sin forever
He didn't come with any worldly fanfare
No royal treatment, just a dark cross to bear
In Bethlehem a brand new dawn is rising
A star to guide the way, forever shining
New hope was born for all creation that night
For though the darkness came the brightest light
