He was born in a stable in Bethlehem not to riches but as a common man

C#m B A B C#m B A E E

Emmanuel is his name, the salvation of man is why He came

Verse 2:

We're told the tales of knights of old, of their

daring acts courageous n' bold

We recount the sagas of kings and queens,

written on the pages for all to see but

no matter how great these deeds were penned in the annals of history

not one single life can compare indeed to this one life known

as the story

Chorus 2:

He lived a life a sinless one,

that we may be called daughters and sons

He gave His life that we should live no greater gift could anyone give

Verse 3:

We've great generals to win the wars

brilliant scientists to study the stars

Fearless astronauts who fly into space

they're meer mortals of this human race

We need to rethink our priorities, set our sights more heavenly

Now take the time He implores you to

find your way in the story --> Repeat Chorus 1

Verse 4:

The world seems so hurried and blind

we continue to treat each other unkind

So you rulers and all you kings be warned

you'll not be saved by the might of your arm

Don't set your sights on things earthly

don't seal your fate for eternity

There is only one life that we should adore

the One who is, is the story

Repeat Chorus 2, Repeat Chorus 1
