Labor Of Love

[D] [Dsus] [D]

It was not a silent [G5] night
There was blood on the ground([D] [Dsus4] [D])
You could hear a woman  [G5] cry
in the alleyway that  [A] night
on the streets of David's town([D] [Dsus4] [D])

And the stable was not  [Bm]  clean,
and the cobblestones were  [F#m]  cold.
And little Mary full of  [G5]  grace
with the tears upon her  [A]  face
had no mother's hand to hold ([D] [Dsus4] [D])

It was a labor of  [G5]  pain,
it was cold sky a  [Bm]  bove.
But for the girl on the ground in the  [G5]  dark
Every beat of her beautiful  A  heart
was [A] labor of Love ([D] [Dsus4] [D])

Noble Joseph at her [G5] side
Callused hands and weary eyes([D] [Dsus4] [D])
There were no midwives to be [G5] found
In the streets of David's [A] town
In the middle of the night([D] [Dsus4] [D])

So he held her and he [Bm] prayed
Shafts of moonlight on his [F#m] face
But the baby in her womb [G5]
He was the maker of the moon [A]
He was the Author of the faith [D]
That could Dsus make the mountains move(A Asus A let ring out)

It was a labor of  [G5]  pain,

But for the girl on the ground in the  [G5]  dark
Every beat of her beautiful  [A]  heart
was a labor of Love  [Bm]
For little Mary full of grace  [G]
With the tears upon her face  [A]
It was a labor of love (D Let ring out)
