The Squalor And The Saviour

Josh Gauton


Tom: Am

         Am
In the still and calm, 
   G         F
Through the hallowed night 
      Am         G    F
Underneath a winter sky
          Am
Came the promised king
 G      F
Not in palace courts 
       Am        G    F
But a filthy stable floor

[Chorus]
      C          F         C
Holy night when worlds collided 
       C       Am     G
Love eternal chose a form 
  F         C         F       C
Flesh and blood with heaven united 
      C      Am     G
In a humble manger born 
        F              C
Oh the wonder of that moment 
       Em             Am
Human birth met the divine 
Am    G              F
The squalor and the Saviour 
G
 The baby that was God

[Verse 2]
       Am         G          F
As he opened his eyes for the first time 
        Am         G      F
All of nature held its breath 
          Am          G          F
For this tiny child wrapped in swaddling cloth 
        Am            G  F
Was the hope for all mankind 

[Chorus]
      C          F         C
Holy night when worlds collided 
       C       Am     G
Love eternal chose a form 
  F         C         F       C
Flesh and blood with heaven united 
      C      Am     G
In a humble manger born 
        F              C
Oh the wonder of that moment 
       Em             Am
Human birth met the divine 
Am    G              F
The squalor and the Saviour 
G
 The baby that was God

[Bridge]
  F           C
Glory to the one above 
 G                  Am       G
Peace on earth and heaven’s love 
    F                 C
So join the angels’ thunderous song 
G                Am        G
In proclaiming Christ has come
  F           C
Glory to the one above 
 G                  Am       G
Peace on earth and heaven’s love 
    F                 C
So join the angels’ thunderous song 
G                Am        G
In proclaiming Christ has come

[Chorus]
      C          F         C
Holy night when worlds collided 
       C       Am     G
Love eternal chose a form 
  F         C         F       C
Flesh and blood with heaven united 
      C      Am     G
In a humble manger born 
        F              C
Oh the wonder of that moment 
       G              Am
Human birth met the divine 
E                     Am G F
