• Difficulty: Beginner

Key: F


Intro:

F
Bb

Verse I:
F
The picture in the book had 'em smiling
          Bb
with halos on their heads

Sitting in a stable
    F
Their eyes up to the skies, a light was shining down
   Bb
on them. But this was no fable
     Dm            C
They were fighting for a life, on a dark and desperate night
  Bb             F
Cause there was no room at the inn
    Dm           C
In the middle of the fight, as Mary starts to cry,
Bb          C
Joseph was left wondering

Chorus:
             Bb
If this is where our hope begins
   F          C
Hallelujah, a baby's cries pierce the night
            Bb
This is where our hope begins
   F              C
Hallelujah, he's come to earth to give us light
       Dm       C       Bb
So if you're broken down and beaten to the floor
   Dm         C        Bb
Just remember you're the one he came here for
C
This is where our hope begins

Verse II:
   F                             Bb
There was no silent night, nothing peaceful 'bout that Christmas day

There in the stable
      F
Through the sweat and through the fear, in the hurting and the tears,
  Bb
he came. And he was able
  Dm          C
To open up our eyes, to fill our hearts with light
Bb           F
Showing us our father's plan
    Dm              C
In the middle of the night, when we have no strength to fight
Bb                 C
Sometimes it's hard for us to understand

Chorus:
             Bb
If this is where our hope begins
   F          C
Hallelujah, a baby's cries pierce the night
            Bb
This is where our hope begins
   F              C
Hallelujah, he's come to earth to give us light
       Dm       C       Bb
So if you're broken down and beaten to the floor
   Dm         C        Bb
Just remember you're the one he came here for
C           Bb
This is where our hope begins

Bridge:
      F          C
In the hardship, when you're broken
             Bb
This is where your hope begins
        F          C
When you're weary, your prayers unspoken

Chorus:
  F                           Bb
The picture in the book had him smiling with a halo on his head
  F                         Bb
His eyes up to the skies, a light was shining down on him
    Dm             C
But if we could really see how he looked upon that tree
  Bb            F
The nails driven through his hands
    Dm            C
In the middle of the storm, his body wrecked and torn
  Bb               C
Sometimes it's hard for us to understand

Chorus:
             Bb     F
This is where our hope begins, hallelujah
          C
Our savior's cries pierced the night
             Bb     F
This is where our hope begins, hallelujah
          C
He came to earth to give us life

Ending:
        Dm      C       Bb
So if you're broken down and beaten on the floor
    Dm        C        Bb
Just remember you're the one he came here for
        Dm      C       Bb
So if you're broken down and beaten on the floor
C             F  Bb  F
This is where your hope begins.
