Labor Of Love

D

                    G     A
It was not a silent night
                       D
There was blood on the ground
                       G
You could hear a woman cry
                      A
In the alleyways that night
                          D
On the streets of David's town
                       Bm
And the stable was not clean
                    F#m
And the cobblestones were cold
                        G
And little Mary full of grace
                        A
With the tears upon her face
                        D
Had no mother's hand to hold

D                  G
 It was a labor of pain
A              Bm
 It was a cold sky above
D                                      G
 But for the girl on the ground in the dark
                             A
With every beat of her beautiful heart
                  D    A/D  D
It was a labor of love

                    G    A
Noble Joseph by her side
                         D
Callused hands and weary eyes
                             G
There were no midwives to be found
                          A
On the streets of David's town
                     D
In the middle of the night
                   Bm
So he held her and he prayed
                           F#m
Shafts of moonlight on his face
                    G
But the baby in her womb
                        A
He was the maker of the moon
                         D/F#
He was the Author of the faith
                        A
That could make the mountains move

D   G   A   Bm   F#m

D                  G
 It was a labor of pain
A              Bm
 It was a cold sky above
D                                      G
 But for the girl on the ground in the dark
                             A
With every beat of her beautiful heart
                  D    A/D  D
It was a labor of love

                        G
For little Mary full of grace
                        A
With the tears upon her face
                  D    A  D
It was a labor of love
                    G     A
It was not a silent night
                          D
On the streets of David's town
