G C F Am - G
My father, he calls me
C F Am - G
From the hospital room
C F Am - G
Says, "You'd better come quickly"
C F Am - G
So we drove the night through
C F Am - G
My sister, she calls me
C F Am - G
I hear tears in her voice
C F Am - G
Says, "A family was chosen,"
C F Am - G
"We are getting a beautiful baby boy"
C F Am - G
Hear my brother's voice breaking
C F Am - G
As he speaks of their plans
C F Am - G
But, my God, what a picture
C F G
Of your love as he kisses her bloated hand
[Chorus]
Am F
There's no love so unusual
G Am F
As I see you in the smile of a babe at the funeral
G
In the tears shed on the casket
Am F C G
While people who loved and were loved loudly sing,
Am F G
"Glory to the great Giver of all good things!"
G F Am F G
Hallelujah, Amen, Amen
F Am F G
Hallelujah, Amen, Amen
[Verse]
C F Am - G
And this sweet child you gave us
C F Am - G
Whom his mother gave up
C F Am - G
I hear you in the laughter
C F G
In the sorrow and joy as they flow mingled down
[Chorus]
Am F
There's no love so unusual
G Am F
As I see you in the smile of a babe at the funeral
G
In the tears shed on the casket
Am F C G
While people who loved and were loved loudly sing,
Am F G
"Glory to the great Giver of all good things!"
G F Am F G
Hallelujah, Amen, Amen
F Am F G
Hallelujah, Amen, Amen
[Verse]
C F Am - G
Even now, you take from me
C F Am - G
My desires, and I should
C F Am - G
But I look at your doing
C F G
And freely say, "It is good"
C F Am - G
Not just good when I see
C F Am - G
The good things it has wrought
C F Am - G
Even now I'm afflicted
C F G
And I take pleasure that I am in the hand of God
[Chorus]
Am F
There's no love so unusual
G Am F
As I see you in the smile of a babe at the funeral
G
In the tears shed on the casket
Am F C G
While people who loved and were loved loudly sing,
Am F G
"Glory to the great Giver of all good things!"
C F Am - G
