[Intro]
Am Em7 Am
[Verse 1]
Am Em
One day while twinkling 'cross the sky
Em Am
an angel came to me,
Am Em
He said, "I am a messenger
D E
sent by our God to thee
C C
You are the chosen star this night
Am D
to be the special guiding light,
Am Em7
To lead the way to Bethlehem
Em7 Am
the holy child to see."
[Interlude]
Em7 Am
[Verse 2]
Am Em
I watched while angels gathered round
Em Am
the shepherds with their sheep,
Am Em
To tell the news of Jesus' birth
D E
though he was fast a-sleep,
C C
They sang their joyful songs of praise
Am D
of our Lord Jesus born to save,
Am Em
The king of kings salvation brings
Em7 Am
God’s promise to us keep.
[Interlude]
Am Am Em7 Am
[Verse 3]
Am Em
My light shone down on wise men
Em Am
the foreign travellers three,
Am Em
They tracked and watched my guiding light,
D E
that night they followed me,
C C
I led them to a stable bare
Am D
for them to see the child there,
Am Em
With presents they did homage pay
Em Am
while on their bended knee.
[Interlude]
Em7 Am
[Verse 4]
Am Em7
The donkey and the oxen
Em7 Am
patiently stood by.
Am Em7
They gently nuzzled Jesus
D E
who uttered not a cry.
C C
As they looked on and ate their fill,
Am D
I cast my ray now standing still,
Am Em7
And Mary rocked her baby
Em7 Am
and sang a lullaby.
[Interlude]
Em7 Am
[Verse 5]
Am Em7
So when you look up to the sky and
Em7 Am
see the stars shine bright,
Am Em7
Their iridescent twinkling
D E
in the calm of night,
C C
and here upon the darkened street
Am D
a starlit sight for all who meet,
Am Em7
Think of the star of Bethlehem,
Em7 Am
God's brightest guiding light,
Am Em7
Think of the star of Bethlehem,
Em7 A
God's brightest guiding light.
