The reason we [B] write most of our Christmas songs is because [N] when I was six years old,
all [D] these Christmas carols [Bb]
that [E] the teachers, when we was [F] going to school, tried to teach
us, and I didn't know a thing in the world about [F] writing music.
[E]
These [N] old-time carols were beautiful words to them, but they had so many minors and sharps and flats.
And [Gb] I didn't know how, [G] I was [Eb] beginning to realize that I was a minor and I thought I
was a little [N] bit short in singing flat.
So we wrote our own song.
This was a beautiful song, but you have to look beyond [Eb]
the major that day, because there
was more to this birth of [E] Christ than just the major and the baby and a few sheep and shepherds.
[Eb] This was on the beginning of Christmas.
[E]
The plan of salvation was so great, it was planned so much and there's so much of [N] it.
And you get to think of [Ebm] that, the Lord gave me this song and [D] I hope you'll enjoy it.
It's about the baby, a cradle, and the cross on the ground.
[G]
[D] [A]
[D]
My soul did rejoice in the Spirit I see.
Salvation was sent down from heaven for me.
From where in a manger in [G] Bethlehem town [D] was a baby, a cradle, a [A] cross, and a crown.
[A] The baby was Jesus, [D] in the cradle he lay.
[E]
Born in the manger [A] on a bare bed of hay.
[D] The cross is the reason [G] that my Lord came down.
[D] And when he returned he'll [A] be wearing [D] the crown.
Yes he will.
[G]
[D]
[A]
Mary and Joseph, the stars shining bright.
Wise men and shepherds were all there [A] that night.
[D] There in the manger [G] as the glory came down was a baby, a cradle, [A] a cross, and a [D] crown.
I saw not the baby in the manger that day.
I saw not the cradle where he gently [A]
lay.
Saw not the cross, [G] for the light he laid down.
But soon I'll behold Jesus [A] wearing [D] the crown.
[A] The baby was Jesus, [D] in the cradle he lay.

Yes he will, sir.
And when he returns he'll [A] be wearing [D]
the crown.
Amen.
