Chords for THIS IS THE TIME Christmas duet ~ Elizabeth & Mary ~ by Wanda Viola

_ _ [Dm] _ _ _ [Em] _ [E] _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _
We've been hoping, _ [B] we've been dreaming, _ [E] we've been praying now [Am] for years.
God would send us, [Dm] the Messiah _ [E] that is coming [Am] would be near.
[Dm] When God's [G] angels spoke [C] his message [B] and his [E] promise,
he [Am] _ declared [Dm] that our son [G] would be [F] his prophet.
[C]
We [Bm] felt joy [E] beyond [Am] _ compare.
_ [Dm] This [G] is the time [C] that the scriptures [Am]
tell,
[Dm] when God [E] will come [Am] and with [A] us dwell,
[Dm] revealing [G] love [C] to give [Am] his [B] son, our Lord [E] _ [Am] Emmanuel. _
_ _ _ _ _ When the angel stood [Dm] before me, [E] I was troubled by the [Am] sight.
He said I would have [Dm] a baby who would be the son of God most [Am] high.
Were to [G] name the [Cm] child Jesus, [B] he's the one [Ab] the Father [Am] _ sends.
He [Am] will be [G] the [C] Lord's anointed, [B] and his [E] kingdom will [Am] never _ end.
[Dm]
This [G] is the time [C] that the scriptures [Am] tell,
when [B]
God [E] will come [Am] and with [A] us dwell,
[Dm]
revealing [G] love [C] to give [Am] his son, [B] our [E] Lord _ [Am] Emmanuel. _ _ _
_ _ _ Then the [E] angel _ told my [Dm] husband that our son would be named John,
that God's [Am] spirit would [Dm] indwell him when [E] his life in me had just [Am] begun,
_ [Dm] that he'll turn [G] the [C] hearts of fathers back [B] to love [E] their precious [Am] _
ones.
He'll restore his [G] _ [C] treasured children to their fathers with a [E] coming [Am] son.
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [C] _
_ [A] _ _ [Dm] _ _ [E] _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [Am] _
_ _ _ [B] _ _ [E] _ _ [Am] _
_ _ _ _ Now this child [Dm] will be given, [E] he will sit on [Am] David's throne.
He will carry all [Dm] our sorrows, and for [E] every sin he [Am] will atone.
[Dm] What a [G] miracle [C] we're part of, [B] for all things [E] are possible [A] with God.
He has lifted [G] up [C] the humble, I [B] am honored and [E] I'm filled [Am] with _ awe.
[Dm] This [G] is the time [C] that the scriptures [Am] tell,
[Em] when God [E] will come and [A] with us dwell,
_ [Dm] revealing [G] love [C] to give his [Am] son, our [E] Lord _ Emmanuel.
_ _ _ Let [Dm] your _ [G] presence flow, [C] let your _ word come [Am] true,
we are [Bm] _ waiting, [E] Lord, [Am] for _ you.
[A] _
_ Let [D] your _ [G] spirit call, speak [C] to _ [Am] us anew, _
[B] how we long, [E] O Lord, for [Am] _ _ you.
