Precious Promise - The Music Of Christmas Album Version

Oh, what a precious promise
Oh, what a gift of love

An angel tells a virgin that
Shes gonna have a son
And though its a precious promise
She wonders how can this be

What will the people say
And what if Joseph cant 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 earth

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 shes already carrying a child
That isnt his own

Oh, what a precious promise
Mary and the child will have a home

And shepherds stand on a hillside
They are racing with the news the angel told them
A star's light fills up the dark sky
As the night of precious promise is unfolding

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
