Verse 1:
Born of a virgin He came
and Jesus was His name
His purpose was unknown
He spoke in parable and psalm
And He made the waters calm
But never took His throne
And the lame were made to walk
And you could hear the peoople talk
Saying, "Is this man an icon or insane?"
And the rulers fear the worst
And they wondered what to do
While thousands gathered to hear the rebel say
Blessed are the meek
M
For they shall someday rule the earth
And if you believe in Me you will recieve
For do not store possessions
They have no eternal worth
And they people listened and watched Him walk away
And a Host of Angels bowed their heads and prayed
Verse 2: ( use same chords as Verse 1 )
They said His words were too hard
And that He had gone too far,
But He had so much more to do
The twelve grew strong in their faith
But somehow they were afraid
The saviors words were really true
And the traitor made his bet
And the blood was mixed with sweat
But still the cup was given to the Lamb
And the murder was freed
And the Messiah had two pleas
As they nailed Him to the cross by foot and hand
"Father, Please forgive them, for they
don't know what they've done"
As the blood fell from His crown into His eyes
And He whispered, "It is finished"
As the last breathe left His lungs
And the cheering just grew louder as He died
And a Host of Angels bowed their cryed
Verse 3: ( same chord progression, start on D-Em )
But when the third day came
The Father called His name
And a Host of Angels said another prayer
The women came to see His grave
But the stone was rolled away
And they looked inside there was nobody there
Glory in the highest hours, Lord Jesus lives again
And if you believe in him you will recieve
Take Him as Your shelter, as Your Lord and as Your friend
May the resurrection bring new life today
Let the Host of Angels sing a song of praise
Let the Host of Angels sing a song of praise
