 I heard about the lonely day, when Jesus had to die

 And though she knew the plan divine, He was still her precious son
   G                D               G             A
 It only seemed like yesterday, in a stable he was born

 Where they laid him down to rest, in a cold and lonely grave

 And as the stone rolled to the door, to seal the prince of life within
                                A                                    D   G
 It must have felt just like the end, there must have been a trail of tears

 The angels knew redemption being, carried out to man
       G              D            G           A
 He was dying there on Calvary, the sacrificial lamb
