Key: C

Verse:
G  C          F         Am - G
My father, he calls me
         C        F     Am - G
From the hospital room
             C           F        Am - G
Says, "You'd better come quickly"
      C               F        Am - G
So we drove the night through



   C           F         Am - G
My sister, she calls me
       C            F      Am - G
I hear tears in her voice
         C          F        Am - G
Says, "A family was chosen,"
        C         F              Am - G
"We are getting a beautiful baby boy"

        C               F        Am - G
Hear my brother's voice breaking
      C               F      Am - G
As he speaks of their plans
        C           F        Am - G
But, my God, what a picture
        C          F                  G
Of your love as he kisses her bloated hand


Chorus:
           Am        F
There's no love so unusual
                    G          Am          F
As I see you in the smile of a babe at the funeral
                         G
In the tears shed on the casket
      Am         F              C           G
While people who loved and were loved loudly sing,
       Am           F                  G
"Glory to the great Giver of all good things!"

G    F  Am   F     G
Hallelujah, Amen, Amen
     F  Am   F     G
Hallelujah, Amen, Amen


Verse:
         C               F       Am - G
And this sweet child you gave us
         C           F    Am - G
Whom his mother gave up
       C          F       Am - G
I hear you in the laughter
       C          F                        G
In the sorrow and joy as they flow mingled down


Chorus:
           Am       F
There's no love so unusual
                    G          Am          F
As I see you in the smile of a babe at the funeral
                         G
In the tears shed on the casket
      Am         F              C            G
While people who loved and were loved loudly sing,
       Am           F                 G
"Glory to the great Giver of all good things!"

G    F  Am   F     G

     F  Am   F     G
Hallelujah, Amen, Amen


Verse:
     C             F       Am - G
Even now, you take from me
     C            F      Am - G
My desires, and I should
      C            F     Am - G
But I look at your doing
    C      F                 G
And freely say, "It is good"

         C           F   Am - G
Not just good when I see
         C             F       Am - G
The good things it has wrought
     C         F        Am - G
Even now I'm afflicted
           C             F                   G
And I take pleasure that I am in the hand of God


Chorus:
           Am       F
There's no love so unusual
                    G          Am          F
As I see you in the smile of a babe at the funeral
                         G
In the tears shed on the casket
      Am         F              C            G
While people who loved and were loved loudly sing,
       Am           F                 G
"Glory to the great Giver of all good things!"

C    F    Am - G
