written by Ross King off of his Something By Sunrise Album Copyright 1995 Reliance Music. All rights reserved This is an extremely long song to write out but the basic chord progression through the song is Em-C-D with the exception of some of the lines where it changes to Em-D. Capo 3 chords: Em : (022000) D: (XX0232) c: (X32010) or (332010) intro: em-c-d (x2) Verse 1: Em C Born of a virgin He came D and Jesus was His name Em His purpose was unknown He spoke in parable and psalm And He made the waters calm But never took His throne D Em And the lame were made to walk And you could hear the peoople talk C D Em Saying, "Is this man an icon or insane?" D Em And the rulers fear the worst And they wondered what to do C D While thousands gathered to hear the rebel say Em C Blessed are the meek D EM For they shall someday rule the earth C D And if you believe in Me you will recieve Em C For do not store possessions D Em They have no eternal worth CD Em And they people listened and watched Him walk away CD Em And a Host of Angels bowed their heads and prayed Verse 2: ( use same chords as Verse 1 ) They said His words were too hard And that He had gone too far, But He had so much more to do The twelve grew strong in their faith But somehow they were afraid The saviors words were really true And the traitor made his bet And the blood was mixed with sweat But still the cup was given to the Lamb And the murder was freed And the Messiah had two pleas As they nailed Him to the cross by foot and hand "Father, Please forgive them, for they don't know what they've done" As the blood fell from His crown into His eyes And He whispered, "It is finished" As the last breathe left His lungs And the cheering just grew louder as He died And a Host of Angels bowed their cryed Verse 3: ( same chord progression, start on D-Em ) But when the third day came The Father called His name And a Host of Angels said another prayer The women came to see His grave But the stone was rolled away And they looked inside there was nobody there Glory in the highest hours, Lord Jesus lives again And if you believe in him you will recieve Take Him as Your shelter, as Your Lord and as Your friend May the resurrection bring new life today Let the Host of Angels sing a song of praise Let the Host of Angels sing a song of praise
