Steven Curtis Chapman - Precious promise - the music of christmas album version lyrics

Oh what a precious promise Oh what a gift of love; An angel told a virgin that She's gonna have a son And though it's a precious promise She wonders how can this be; What will the people say And what if Joseph can't believe And her questions and her fears Are met with an overwhelming joy That God has chosen her Oh what a precious promise; Mary waits as heaven comes to her Oh what a precious promise 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 That isn't his own Oh what a precious promise; Mary and the child will have a home And shepherds stand on a hillside Their hearts racing with the news the angel told them; A star's light fills up the dark sky As a night of precious promise is unfolding Oh what a precious promise 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 His pa**ion for the heart of man Oh what a precious promise Lying in a manger in Bethlehem
