Precious Promise Lyrics by Steven Curtis Chapman

The Music of Christmas

1995

[Verse 1]
Oh what a precious promise
Oh what a gift of love;
An angel tells a virgin that
She's gonna have a son
And though it's a precious promise
She wonders how can this be;
What will the people say
And what if Joseph can't believe
And her questions and her fears
Are met with an overwhelming joy
That God has chosen her
Oh what a precious promise;
Mary waits as heaven comes to her

[Verse 2]
Oh what a precious promise
Oh what a gift of love;
Joseph makes his choice to do
What few men would have done:
To take Mary as his bride
When she's already carrying a child
That isn't his own
Oh what a precious promise;
Mary and the child will have a home

[Bridge]
And shepherds stand on a hillside
Their hearts racing with the news the angel told them;
A star's light fills up the dark sky
As a night of precious promise is unfolding

[Verse 3]
Oh what a precious promise
Oh what a gift of love;
The waiting now is over and
The time has finally come
For the God who made this world
To roll back the curtain
And unveil His passion for the heart of man
Oh what a precious promise
Lying in a manger in Bethlehem

Oh what a precious promise
Lying in a manger in Bethlehem
