Just A Girl
Written by Brandon Heath & Lee Thomas Miller
Recorded by Brandon Heath
Eb tuning – D#-G#-C#-F#-A#-D#
Intro.:  |(Em) |(Em) |(C) |(C) |(Am)(C)|
I (Em)wonder if you've heard the story of little fame and lesser glory
The (C)night the keeper of the inn, the little town of Bethlehem
En-(Am)countered Joseph and his Mary a-(C)bout to birth the Savior of the (Em)world
His (Em)wife said "Go and see who's knockin'," he ran down to the (Em/D)gate, unlocked it
The (C)moment he heard Mary's cry, he couldn't look them in the eye
(Am)Denied them in, went back to bed
When his (C)wife asked who was there, he said, (Em) "I don't know (D)
Just a girl, (G) just a couple of gypsies begging at the (C)door
Told them we don't have room for anymore (Am)
And closed (C) the door, it was just a girl" (G)
He (Em)tried to sleep, but wasn't able, he snuck out to the dirty (Em/B)stable
Where (C)two had found the covering and later in her suffer-(G)ing
The (Am)keeper knelt outside the barn
And (C)in the light of that great star, he (Em)prayed, "What have I done (D)
He's just a babe, (G) just minutes old there trembling in the hay (C)
I could've found a room for them to stay (Am)
I'm so a-(C)shamed, he's just a babe" (Em)
There (C)was no robe, there (G)was no crown
The (Am)shepherds stood on (Em)Royal ground
The (C)keeper wept for (Em)what he'd done
He (Am)turned away, God's own (C) Son
Just a King, (G) just a million angels crowding in to see (C)
Jesus there among humanity (Am)
Just a babe, (G) just minutes old there trembling in the hay (C)
Staring at His mother in the face (Am)
She's just a (C) girl (D)
Just a girl, (G) does she even know that she'd just changed the world? (C)
Does she even know that He will save the world? (G)
Does Mary know that He will save the world? (C)
She's just a girl (G)
Just a girl, (C) just a girl (G) --- (C) --- (G) --- (C) --- (G) -----
