Am                 Dm
The Lord God said when time was full
          Am                    G    E
He would shine His light in the darkness
   Am            Dm
He said a virgin would conceive
Am                    G   Am
And give birth to the Promise
      Dm                 Am 
For a thousand years the dreamers dreamt
    G                E
And hoped to see His love
    Am                   Dm
The Promise showed their wildest dreams
    Am              G    Am
Had simply not been wild enough
        Am                   Dm
But the Promise showed their wildest dreams
    Am              G    Am
Had simply not been wild enough


[Chorus]

    C                        G
The Promise was love and the Promise was life
    Am                         E
The Promise meant light to the world
Am                Dm
Living proof that Yahweh saves
        Am                      G  Am
For the name of the Promise was Jesus


[Verse]

    Am               Dm
The Faithful One saw time was full
        Am                 G    E
And the ancient pledge was honored
   Am               Dm
So God the Son, the Incarnate One
    Am              G   Am
His final Word, His own Son
    Dm            Am
Was born in Bethlehem
           G                E
But came into our hearts to live
     Am                  Dm
What more could God have given, tell me
     Am          G       Am
What more did He have to give
     Am                  Dm
What more could God have given, tell me
     Am          G       Am
What more did He have to give


[Chorus]

    C                        G
The Promise was love and the Promise was life
    Am                         E
The Promise meant light to the world
Am                Dm
Living proof that Yahweh saves
        Am                      G  Am
For the name of the Promise was Jesus
    C                        G
The Promise was love and the Promise was life
    Am                         E
The Promise meant light to the world
Am                Dm
Living proof that Yahweh saves
        Am                      G  Am
For the name of the Promise was Jesus
Am                Dm
Living proof that Yahweh saves
        Am                      G E Am
For the name of the Promise was Jesus
