[Intro 1]
[C][G]
[C][G]

[Verse 1]
[C]Mary Grows a Child
Without the Help of a [G]Man
[C]Joseph gets upset
because he doesn't understand
[G]Angel[C] comes to Joseph
in a powerful dream
Says, [G]God did this
and you're part of his [C]scheme[G]
[C]Joseph comes to Mary
with his hat in his [G]hand
She says, forgive [C]me,
I thought you'd been with
some other [G]man
She [C]says, what if I had been,
but I wasn't anyway
And guess [G]what? I felt the
baby kick [C]today[G]
[C]Like a [D]stone on the surface
of [C]a still r[G]iver
Driv[D]ing the ripples [C]on [G]forever
Redemp[Em]tion rips through
the [C]surface of time
In the [D]cry of a tiny [G]babe
[C]The child is born in the fullness of time
[G]Three [Em]wise[G] ast[C]rologers
take note of the [G]signs
Come to [C]pay their respects,
to the fragile little king
[G]Get pretty [Em]close to wrecking
[G]everything[Em][C][G]
Cause the [C]Governing Body
of the Holy Land
[G]Is [C]that of Herod, a paranoid man
[G]And when [Em]he he[G]ars[C]
there's a baby born,
King of the Jews
Sends [G]death squads to [Em]kill all [G]male
children under [Em]two[G][C][G]
But that [C]same bright angel
warns the parents in a dream
And they [G]head out for the border
and get away [C]clean[G]
[C]Like a [D]stone on the surface
of [C]a still r[G]iver
[D]Driving the ripples [C]on [G]forever
Redemp[Em]tion rips through
the [C]surface of time
In the [D]cry of a tiny [G]babe
And there are [C]others who know
about this miracle [G]birth
The [C]humblest of people
catch a glimpse of their [G]word[Em][G]
For it [C]isn't to the palace
that the Christ child comes
But to [G]shepherds and street [Em]people,
[G]hookers and [Em]bums[C][G]
And the [C]message is clear,
if you have ears to [G]hear
That forgive[C]ness is given
for your guilt and your [G]fear
It's a [C]Christmas gift
that you don't have to buy
There's a [G]future shining in a
baby's eye[C]s[G][Em]
[G]
[C]Like a [D]stone on the surface of a [C]still [G]river
Driv[D]ing the ripples [C]on [G]forever
Redemp[Em]tion rips through
the [C]surface of time
In the [D]cry of a tiny [G]babe
[C]Like a [D]stone on the surface
of a [C]still [G]river
Driv[D]ing the ripples [C]on [G]forever
Redemp[Em]tion rips through
the [C]surface of time
In the [D]cry of a tiny baby

[Outro 1]
