I'm new to this so bear with me if they're out a little :-)

A
Way across the fields where the starlight falls
On the road to this little town
If the stars could tell a story
Which way would it end?
Who would lose, and who would win?

	G				A
And it looks like the whole world is waiting

A
Far off in the land of kings, the humble man misused
Army come, set his house on fire
Terrorized and broken, the humble hide and pray
"Show us a sign, or take us away."

	G				A
And it looks like the whole world is waiting
  G				 A	   E G B D
This is the moment we've waited for

A
Some men gave their lives writing out the ancient books
About the place where the kingdom come
A king to walk among us, one to call our own
Finally come to make this His home

	G				A
And it looks like the whole world is waiting

A
Silent hearts, silent night
      D	          A7   A
One voice to be heard from the stables
A
There, a baby cries
	      D				A
The voice of God calling to a silent world.

A
Riding by the light of an unknown star
In the night full of heaven's hope
Hearing the news of angels
The humble make their way
Coming to town to look for the King


	G				A
And it looks like the whole world is waiting

A
Silent hearts, silent night
	D		     A7
All creation waits for this moment
A
Now the kingdom comes
       D	   A7
To a world crying out

A
Silent hearts, silent night
      D	          A7   A
One voice to be heard from the stables
A
There, a baby cries
	      D				A
The voice of God calling to a silent world.
