1 verse:  
             G                            D/F#          Em                           G/D
Where shepherds lately knelt and kept the angel's word,
 C                         D        Am                            Hsus4 H
I come in half belief, a pilgrim strangely stirred,
      Em                            G/D                            C    G/H
But there is room and welcome there for me,
     Am                              C                D             G
But there is room and welcome there for me.

2 verse:  
In that unlikely place I find him as they said:
Sweet newborn babe, how frail! and in a manger bed,
A still, small voice to cry one day for me,
A still, small voice to cry one day for me.

3 verse:  
How should I not have known Isaiah would be there, 
His prophecies fulfilled? With pounding heart I stare:
A child, a son, the Prince of Peace for me,
A child, a son, the Prince of Peace for me.

4 verse: +2
       A                E/G#    F#m                             A/E
Can I, will I forget how love was born, and burned
   D                      E             Hm                                 C#sus4 C#
Its way into my heart unasked, unforced, unearned,
    F#m                    A/E                    D   A/C#
To die, to live, and not alone for me,
    Hm                      D        E             A
To die, to live, and not alone for me?
