verse 1: 

C   G/B      Am       G       F 
He  was her man; she was his wife 
     F    G  Am    G/B      C 
And late one win – ter    night 
    G/B      Am       G        F 
He knelt by  her,  as she gave birth 
                   Dsus – D            Em-F 
But it wasn’t his child;    it wasn’t his child 
C    G/B      Am       G     F 
Yet still he took Him as his own 
     F  G   Am     G/B   C 
And as he watched  Him grow 
     G/B        Am        G  F 
It brought him joy; he loved that Boy 
               Dsus – D                  Em-F      G 
But it wasn’t his       child; it wasn’t his child

Am          G               F                   Am   G 
And like a father, he was strong, and kind and good 
F       C               G    Em 
And I believe he did his best 
Am         G                 F             Am 
It wasn’t easy for him, but he did all he could 
F             C                 G 
His Son was different from the rest 
           Em-F                 Dsus – D    Em-F   G 
It wasn’t his child; it wasn’t his   child 


verse 2: 

C    G/B      Am   G       F 
And when the Boy became a Man 
    F    G  Am      G/B    C 
He took His fa  -  ther’s hand 
C    G/B      Am         G       F 
And soon the world would all know why 
             Dsus – D             Em-F     G 
It wasn’t his child;   it wasn’t his child

It wasn’t easy for Him, but He did all He could 
        Am           G       F 
He grew up with His hands in wood 
        Am            G        F 
And He died with His hands in wood 
        Am         G         Dsus - D        Em-F   G 
He was God’s child;  He was God’s     child
