Birth Of A King
	(written by Mike Bryant)


[Intro]
[fingerpicked acoustic guitar, clean electric guitar fills]

[Verse 1]
[baritone male vocals]
The wise men walked the days
To reach the city of their quest
They traveled far to Bethlehem
Only stopping just to rest
For in the heavens appeared to them
A star to point the way
It was a sign from God to tell the world
Of a king born Christmas day

[Verse 2]
[bass and soft drums enter]
Time marches on and miracles
Seem so hard to find today
Look around and see the wonders
That God gives to us each day
The birth of Christ brought peace and hope
That endures throughout all time
And love is stronger at this time of year
We celebrate this Christmas time

[Chorus]
[vocal harmonies enter, pedal steel swells]
And the angels started singing
And the heavens opened wide
And the star shone on the stable
For Joseph and his wife
And the shepherds and the wise men
Came with gifts to give a king
Yes this baby born in Bethlehem
Would teach the world so many things

[Bridge]
[clean electric guitar solo with twang and reverb]

[Chorus]
[full arrangement, vocal harmonies]
And the angels started singing
And the heavens opened wide
Yes this baby born in Bethlehem
Would be our savior Jesus Christ

[Outro]
[acoustic guitar fades, pedal steel slide]
