{Intro]
D Bm A D Bm A
[Verse 1]
D Bm A
There is a story I heard long ago
Em D/F# A
Passed on to me and
D
I long to share it with you
Bm A
About a king who left his riches untold
G D/F# E
To live as a common man
G A D
Oh, that's how it all began
D Bm A
[Verse 2]
D
Born in a manger
Bm A
Called a carpender's son
Em D/F#
Look in his eyes
A
You can see
D
He's the light of the world
Bm A
And no one else could do the works that he's done
G D/F# E
To reconcile God and man
G A D D7/F# G
Oh, this must be the lamb
[Chorus]
G F#m
He is the one who can speak to the sky
Em A D
And the winds and seas obey
G F#m Bm
He is the one who has taken our sins away
Bm A G
Oh that's how much
G D/F# Em
Yeah, that's how much
A
That he loves us
D Bm A
[Verse 3]
D Bm A
Upon a hill near the edge of the town
Em D/F#
Forsaken by all
A
there he was crucified
D Bm A
This King was wearing my thorns for a crown
G D/F# E
That I might be justified
G A D D7/F#
Oh that's why my savior died
[Chorus]
G F#m
He is the one who can speak to the sky
Em A D
And the winds and seas obey
G F#m Bm
He is the one who has taken our sins away
Bm A G
Oh that's how much
G D/F# Em
Yeah, that's how much
A
That he loves us
{Outro]
D Bm A
There is a story I heard long ago
Em D/F#
Passed on to me and
A D
I long to share it with you
