Well the news spread through Jerusalem,
tonight a child is born
Gm Bb C
There are shepherds fallin’ to their knees,
and angels blowin’ horns
F Dm
But in their golden halls, the Pharisees scoffed
and drank their wine
Gm Bb
They said, “It’s only Hebrew prophesy, we don’t care
C Am Bb C F
And besides, He’s just a kid, that’s all He is
Dm C C# Dm G
One more pebble in the gravel, one more rumor in the rabble
C F Dm C
How can He be king? He’s just a kid”
F Dm
Well in no time, it seemed the world
was knockin’ on His door
Gm Bb C
Performin’ miracles and wonders they had never seen before
F Dm
Soon, the Pharisees stopped laughin’,
the silver sum was paid
Gm Bb
And near the end He knelt down in the garden
C Am Bb C F
And He prayed, “I’m just a kid, that’s all I am
Dm C C# Dm G
I’ll need Your strength to see me through it,
if it is Your will I’ll Do it
C F
But how can I be king? I’m just a kid”
Ab Bb C F
Now I think about the Baby and the Man at Christmas time
Ab Gm C F
Of mothers, sons and fathers and children just like mine
Ab Bb F
About the power and unselfishness, love and sacrifice
Eb C D
The Gift that we were given and the price
G Em
And how the news spread through Jerusalem,
tonight a child is born
Am C D
There are shepherds falling to their knees,
and angels blowin’ horns
G Em
I wonder how on Earth the Pharisees could scoff
and drink their wine
Am C
And say, “He’s only Hebrew prophesy, we don’t care
D B, C D G
And besides, He’s just a kid, that’s all He is
Em D Eb Em A
One more pebble in the gravel,
one more rumor in the rabble
D G
And how can He be king? He’s just a kid”
A F G Em Am D G
Oh, how can He be king? He’s just a kid, oh
