[Verse 1]
B G#m
Follow the star to a place unexpected
G#m
Would you believe after all we’ve projected
C#m
A child in a manger
B G#m
Lowly and small, the weakest of all
G#m C#m
Unlikeliest hero, wrapped in his mothers shawl
C#m
Just a child
C#m F# (ring out)
Is this who we’ve waited for?
[Chorus]
B
How many kings, stepped down from their thrones?
G#m
How many lords have abandoned their homes?
C#m F#
How many greats have become the least for me?
B
How many Gods have poured out their hearts
G#m
To romance a world that has torn all apart?
C#m F#
How many fathers gave up their sons for me?
[Verse 2]
B G#m
Bringing our gifts for the newborn savior
G#m
All that we have whether costly or meek
C#m
Because we believe
B G#m
Gold for his honor and frankincense for his pleasure
G#m
And myrrh for the cross he’ll suffer
C#m F#
Do you believe, is this who we’ve waited for?
F# (Ring Out)
It’s who we’ve waited for
[Chorus]
B
How many kings, stepped down from their thrones?
G#m
How many lords have abandoned their homes?
C#m F#
How many greats have become the least for me?
B
How many Gods have poured out their hearts
G#m
To romance a world that has torn all apart?
C#m F#
How many fathers gave up their sons for me?
[Bridge]
F# A E
Only one did that for me
C#m F#
Oh……… oh……..
C#m F#
All for me, all for you (repeat ad lib)
C#m F#
All for me, all for you
[Chorus]
B
How many kings, stepped down from their thrones?
G#m
How many lords have abandoned their homes?
C#m F#
How many greats have become the least for me?
B
How many Gods have poured out their hearts
G#m
To romance a world that has torn all apart?
C#m F#
How many fathers gave up their sons for me?

Thank you for all of this amazing quality content! We will be playing this song at my church this Christmas, and I will be doing the piano part. This has helped me SO MUCH. Thank you for this ministry and God bless! 😉
It has been my favorite song ever since I heard it.
