     He was her man, she was his wife and late one winter night 
     D5     E5      D5          C5 
He knelt by her as she gave birth 
                       A5 A5                 C5 D5 G5 
But it wasn't his child, it wasn't his child 
          D5    E5         D5       C5                                  D5    G5 
     Yet he still took him as his own, and as he watched him grow 
    D5         E5      D5            C5 
It brought him joy, he loved that boy 
                       A5 A5                C5    D5 E5 
But it wasn't his child, it wasn't his child

      Chorus: But like a father he was strong and kind and good 
                     C5          G5                   D5  D5 
                     And I believe he did his best 
                    E5        B5                    C5                 E5 
                     It wasn't easy for him , but he did all he could 
                     C5                G5                      D5  
                     His son was different from the rest 
                                       C5                        A5 A5   C5 D5 G5

     And when the boy became a man, he took his father's hand 
G5     D5     E5            D5           C5 
And soon the world would all know why 
                 A5 A5                 C5 D5 E5 
It wasn't his child, it wasn't his child 
                                  B5                   C5      E5 
                 And like his Father, He was strong and kind and good

                 And I believe he did his best 
                E5        B5                    C5                 E5

                 He grew up with his hands in wood 
                            E5             D5            C5   
                 And he died with his hands in wood 
                                      E5 D5                    A5 A5 
                 He was God's child, He was God's child
