Follow the star to a place unexpected

Would  you believe, after all we've projected

A child  in a manger?

wrapped in his mother's shawl
Just a child

Is this who we've waited for?

step down     from their thrones
G#m9 G#m9 
 
How    many lords
have abandoned their homes?
C#m11 C#m11 
 
How      many greats
F#7sus4 F#7sus4 
 
have become the least for me?
B B 
 
And how many gods
Bmaj7 Bmaj7 
 
have poured   out their hearts
G#m9 G#m9 
 
To romance a world that is torn all apart?
C#m11 C#m11 
 
How      many fathers
F#7sus4 F#7sus4 
 
F#7 F#7 
 
gave up their sons for me?

Verse 2
B B 
 
Bringing our gifts for the newborn Savior
G#m7 G#m7 
 
All    that we have, whether costly or meek
C#m7 C#m7 
 
B/D# B/D# 
 
E E 
 
Because  we believe
B B 
 
Gold for his honor,
Bsus4 Bsus4 
 
B B 
 
G#m7 G#m7 
 
and frankincense for his pleasure
And myrrh for the cross He'll suffer
C#m7 C#m7 
 
Do     you believe?
F#sus4 F#sus4 
 
Is this who we've waited for?
F# F# 
 
(...who we've waited for?)
