Steven Curtis Chapman - Precious Promise Lyrics
Oh what a precious promise,Oh what a gift of love;An angel told a virgin thatShe's gonna have a son.And though it's a precious promise,She wonders how can this be;What will the people sayAnd what if Joseph can't believe.And her questions and her fearsAre met with an overwhelming joyThat 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 doWhat few men would have done:To take Mary as his bride,When she's already carrying a childThat 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 andThe time has finally come.For the God who made this worldTo roll back the curtainAnd unveil His passion for the heart of man.Oh what a precious promise,Lying in a manger in Bethlehem.
