Christmas song

1.

C Fmaj7 C Fmaj7

In a stable in Bethlehem, no room that night

C Am Dm7 G7

Mary and Joseph lay down to sleep where a star was shining bright

C Fmaj7 C Fmaj7

In the still of that holy night, on a bed of straw

C Am Dm7 G

Mary gave the waiting world something to live for

Chorus

F G C

Mary’s Child

F G C

Born to be king

F G C Am

She gave birth to the son of God

F G C

And nothing would be the same

2.

C Fmaj7 C Fmaj7

In the arms of Mary, baby Jesus lay

C Am Dm7 G7

While all around her, people came to pray

C Fmaj7 C Fmaj7

Mary cared for Jesus and watched him grow

C Am Dm7 G

Imagine the pain when-- she had to let him go

Chorus

C Fmaj7 C Fmaj7

Jesus was the Saviour, of you and me

C Am Dm7 G7

The son whom God had sent, to set His people free

C Fmaj7 C Fmaj7

Some would betray Him, to all he’d be a friend

C Am Dm7 G

But Mary was His mother and loved Him to the end

Chorus twice and end
