Gods Surprise
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo
[Verse 1]
G Am D7 G
Who would think that what was needed
C Am6 D7 G
To transform and save the earth
G Am D7 G
Might not be a plan or army,
C Am6 D7 G
Proud in purpose, proved in worth?
G Dm/F E Am
Who would think, despite derision,
Am7 Bm7 Cmaj7 D7
That a child should lead the way?
G Am D7 G
God surprises earth with heaven,
C Am6 D7 G
Coming here on Christmas Day.
[Verse 2]
G Am D7 G
Shepherds watch and wise men wonder,
C Am6 D7 G
Monarchs scorn and angels sing;
G Am D7 G
Such a place as none would reckon
C Am6 D7 G
Hosts a holy helpless thing;
G Dm/F E Am
Stable beasts and by-passed strangers
Am7 Bm7 Cmaj7 D7
Watch a baby laid in hay:
G Am D7 G
God surprises earth with heaven
C Am6 D7 G
Coming here on Christmas Day.
[Verse 3]
G Am D7 G
Cen-tu-ries of skill and science
C Am6 D7 G
Span the past from which we move,
G Am D7 G
Yet ex-pe-rience questions whether,
C Am6 D7 G
With such progress, we im-prove.
G Dm/F E Am
While the human lot we ponder,
Am7 Bm7 Cmaj7 D7
Lest our hopes and hu-mour fray,
G Am D7 G
God surprises earth with heaven
C Am6 D7 G
Coming here on Christmas Day.
