Precious promise - the music of christmas album version Steven Curtis Chapman

Oh what a precious promise
Oh what a gift of love;
An angel told a virgin that
She's gonna have a son
And though it's a precious promise
She wonders how can this be;
What will the people say
And what if Joseph can't believe
And her questions and her fears
Are met with an overwhelming joy
That God has chosen her
Oh what a precious promise;
Mary waits as heaven comes to her

Oh what a precious promise
Oh what a gift of love;
Joseph makes his choice to do
What few men would have done:
To take Mary as his bride
When she's already carrying a child
That isn't his own
Oh what a precious promise;
Mary and the child will have a home

And shepherds stand on a hillside
Their hearts racing with the news the angel told them;
A star's light fills up the dark sky
As a night of precious promise is unfolding
