Mary waits as heaven comes to earth
Oh what a precious promise
A Oh what a gift of love

What few men would have done
To take Mary as his bride
When she's already carrying a child
B That isn't his own
Oh what a precious promise
Mary and the child will have a home

The time has finally come
For the God who made this world
To roll back the curtain and unveil

Oh what a precious promise
