Man From Galilee

G                         C            G
It was Christmas Eve in a little Texas town
    D7                             G
The snow was falling softly to the ground
 C                              G
Outside a little chapel stood a man
     D7                             G
With sightless eyes a candle in his hand

  C                             G
Oh Lord if you're there help me in
  D7                           G
I need to light a candle for a friend
   C                           G
He came from a land across the sea
     D7                    G
They call Him the Man from Galilee

                     C               G
And no one seemed to hear his lonely cry
    D7                                          G
They laughed with Christmas cheer and walked on by
 C                                   G
Inside they watched a clock upon the wall
   D7                              G
Put silver in the box and left the hall

spoken:
Soon the church was quiet in the night
And one-by-one the candles lost their light
In darkness now the old man knelt to pray
   D7                                       G
Forgive them Lord they must have lost their way

   C                            G
Oh Lord if you're there hear my prayer
    D7                                    G
Let the message of Your birthday fill the air
    C                               G
Let the lesson of your life help us see
     D7                        G
That Christmas is the Man from Galilee
