BbWho would of thought that long aEbgo
So Bbvery far away
A little child Ebwould be born
And in a maBbnger laid
And who would have thought this Eblittle child
Was Bbborn the King of kings
The Son of just a Ebcarpenter
But for Fwhom the Dmangels Bbsing
And who would have thought that Ebas He grew
And Bbwith other children played
This child with whom they laughed and Ebsang
Would Bbdie for them some day
And who would have thought this Eblittle child
Could Bbmake a blind man see
Feed the hungry make Ebrich the poor
And Bbset the sinner free
Oh who would have thought this Eblittle child
Was Fwho the Bbprophets said
Would take away the Ebsins of man
And Bbrise up Ffrom the BbdeadEb  F

There is a Bbhope a light that burns

[Intro]

Bb Eb Bb Eb

[Verse 1]

Bb Eb

Who would of thought that long ago

So very far away

A little child would be born

And in a manger laid

And who would have thought this little child

Was born the King of kings

The Son of just a carpenter

F Dm Bb

But for whom the angels sing

And who would have thought that as He grew

And with other children played

This child with whom they laughed and sang

Would die for them some day

And who would have thought this little child

Could make a blind man see

Feed the hungry make rich the poor

And set the sinner free

Oh who would have thought this little child

F Bb

Was who the prophets said

Would take away the sins of man

Bb F Bb Eb F

And rise up from the dead

[Chorus 1]

Eb Bb Eb Bb

O I believe and I will always sing

C Eb F Bb

This little child is the King

Eb Bb Eb Bb

O I believe and I will always sing

This little child

Eb F Eb Bb Eb F

He is the King of kings

[Verse 2]

Bb Eb

Many years have come and gone

Yet this world remains the same

Empires have been built and fallen

Bb F Bb

Only time has made a change

Nation against nation

Brother against brother

Men so filled with hatred

F Bb

Killing one another

And over half the world is starving

Bb F Bb

While our banner of decency is torn

Debating over disarmament

F Bb

Killing children before they're born

And fools who march to win the right

To justify their sin

Oh every nation that has fallen

Has fallen from within

Yet in the midst of this darkness

There is a hope a light that burns

This little child the King of kings

Bb F Bb Eb F

Some day will return

[Chorus 2]

Eb Bb Eb Bb

And I believe and I will always sing

C Eb F Bb

This little child is the King

Eb Bb Eb Bb

And I believe and I will always sing

This little child

Eb F Eb Bb Eb F

He is the King of kings

[Verse 3]

Bb Eb

And who would have thought this little child

F Bb Eb

Is who the prophets said

Bb Eb

Will return to judge this world

Bb Eb

The living and the dead

F Bb Eb

Oh can't you see that long ago

So very far away

This little child our only hope

Bb F Bb Eb F Bb

Was born a King that day
