Verse:
               D         D/F#    G
Just a tiny nowhere town
                 G         A        D
With a tiny no-room inn
    D            D/F#       G       D/F#   G    A     D
This is where the greatest story ever told begins

                       D          D/F#    G
Where just a tiny beating heart
                   G            A    Hm
Had all creation leaning in
             D             A/C#           Hm       A
That night the world forever changed

Verse 2:
It's where a star led to a stable
A baby’s cry made angels sing
And the search to find a savior
Led to Heaven’s humble King

Where the wise men found the answer
The shepherds found the lamb
And I found my Immanuel
Because of Bethlehem 

Chorus:
                G
Love is born
                  D
Hope is here
                   Hm                                                A
Heaven’s light has made the darkness disappear
                     G
Peace on earth
                          D
Good will to men
                  Em
God with us
              A                 D
All because of Bethlehem

Verse 3:
From a child in a cradle
to a king upon a cross
He knew the road was leading Him
To pay a crimson cost

And when no other arms could carry (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
The weight of all our sin (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
He took the fall and it happened all (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Because of Bethlehem (Ooh-ooh-ooh)

Chorus:
Love is born
Hope is here
Heaven’s light has made
the darkness disappear
Peace on earth
Good will to men
God with us
All because of Bethlehem

Because of Bethlehem

Verse 4:
From a tomb that love left empty 
To a Father’s right hand throne 
And a promise He’s preparing us
A place we’ll soon call home
He who came to earth from heaven
Is coming back again
And our eyes will see eternity 
Because of Bethlehem

Chorus:
Love is born
Hope is here
Heaven’s light has made
the darkness disappear
Peace on earth
Good will to men
God with us
All because of Bethlehem
God with us
All because of Bethlehem
