Lyrics
what will the people say
Oh what a precious promise, oh what a precious promise Promise, mary and the child will have a home
an angel told a virgin that
And unveil his passion for the heart of man, oh what a precious promise Precious, mary and the child will have a home
and what if joseph can t believe
are met with an overwhelming joy
And what if joseph can t believe, oh what a precious promise Chapman, joseph makes his choice to do
what will the people say
oh what a precious promise
that god has chosen her
The time has finally come, oh what a gift of love, to take mary as his bride
Oh what a gift of love, she wonders how can this be Promise, what will the people say
Mary and the child will have a home, what will the people say, and her questions and her fears
And though it s a precious promise, she s gonna have a son Precious, as a night of precious promise is unfolding
Are met with an overwhelming joy, oh what a gift of love
oh what a gift of love
An angel told a virgin that, their hearts racing with the news the angel told them
And shepherds stand on a hillside, to roll back the curtain, a star s light fills up the dark sky
Oh what a precious promise, what few men would have done Chapman, and though it s a precious promise
When she s already carrying a child, oh what a precious promise, and what if joseph can t believe
Mary and the child will have a home, the waiting now is over and, to take mary as his bride
And shepherds stand on a hillside, oh what a gift of love Chapman, as a night of precious promise is unfolding
for the god who made this world
