(verse 1)
D A/C# Bm A G A G-A D
He was her man, she was his wife and late one winter night,
A/C# Bm A G
He knelt by her as she gave birth,
Esus-E G
But it wasn't his child, it wasn't his child,
(verse 2)
D A/C# Bm A G A G A D
Yet he still took him as his own, and as he watched him grow,
A/C# Bm A G
It brought him joy, he loved that boy,
Esus-E G. - A - Bm
But it wasn't his child, it wasn't his child,
(chorus)
Bm F#m G Bm - A
But like a father he was strong and kind and good,
G D Asus4- A
And I believe he did his best,
Bm F#m G Bm
It wasn't easy for him, but he did all he could,
G D Asus4- A
His son was different from the rest,
Bm G Esus-E - G
It wasn't his child, it wasn't his child,
(verse 3)
D A/C# Bm A G A G-A D
And when the boy became a man, he took his father's hand,
D A/C# Bm A G
And soon the world would all know why,
Esus-E G - A - Bm
It wasn't his child, it wasn't his child,
(chorus)
Bm F#m G Bm -A
And like his Father, He was strong and kind and good,
G D Asus4- A
And I believe he did his best,
Bm F#m G Bm
It wasn't easy for him, but he did all he could,
Bm A G
He grew up with his hands in wood,
Bm A G
And he died with his hands in wood,
Bm A Esus-E - G
He was God's child, He was God's child,
(ending verse)
D A/C# Bm A G A G-A D
He was her man, she was his wife and late one winter night,
A/C# Bm A G
He knelt by her as she gave birth,
Esus-E G - A - Bm
But it wasn't his child, he was God's child,
