Intro: G Em G Em / / / / | / / / / | G Em 1. God stared with pity in His eye 2. The town lay asleep that first Christmas Eve, 3. God honored His promise just like He said; G Em At fruit juice stains that were barely dry, Their time of deliverance unforeseen His blood poured out in crimson red C D G C D But the tear stains were the darker of the two, yeah. Though steeped in prideful knowledge of the Torah. For you and all mankind, but what’s it to ya? G C D God held His garden children near Though most could not be brought to care, Will indifference be your path of choice, Em C And promised in the coming years The angel chorus shook the air, Or with me will you choose to lift your voice D B7 Em That He would die instead, oh Hallelujah! And humble shepherds joined their “Hallelujah.” In a broken and a grateful “Hallelujah”? [Verses 1 and 2] C Em C G D G Em G Em Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu - jah. [Verse 3] C Em C G Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu, Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu, Hallelujah, oh hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah!
