GIt was Christmas Eve in a Clittle Texas Gtown
The D7snow was falling softly to the Gground
OCutside a little chapel stood a Gman
With D7sightless eyes a candle in his Ghand
Oh CLord if you're there help me Gin
I D7need to light a candle for a Gfriend
He Ccame from a land across the Gsea
They D7call Him the Man from GGalilee
And no one seemed to Chear his lonely Gcry
They D7laughed with Christmas cheer and walked on Gby
ICnside they watched a clock upon the Gwall
Put D7silver in the box and left the Ghall

Soon the church was quiet in the night
And one-by-one the candles lost their light
In darkness now the old man knelt to pray
ForD7give them Lord they must have lost their Gway
Oh CLord if you're there hear my Gprayer
Let D7the message of Your birthday fill the Gair
Let Cthe lesson of your life help us Gsee

G C G

It was Christmas Eve in a little Texas town

D7 G

The snow was falling softly to the ground

C G

Outside a little chapel stood a man

D7 G

With sightless eyes a candle in his hand

C G

Oh Lord if you're there help me in

D7 G

I need to light a candle for a friend

C G

He came from a land across the sea

D7 G

They call Him the Man from Galilee

C G

And no one seemed to hear his lonely cry

D7 G

They laughed with Christmas cheer and walked on by

C G

Inside they watched a clock upon the wall

D7 G

Put silver in the box and left the hall

repeat #2

spoken:

Soon the church was quiet in the night

And one-by-one the candles lost their light

In darkness now the old man knelt to pray

D7 G

Forgive them Lord they must have lost their way

C G

Oh Lord if you're there hear my prayer

D7 G

Let the message of Your birthday fill the air

C G

Let the lesson of your life help us see

D7 G

That Christmas is the Man from Galilee
