Am
when we came

we came through the cold

we came bearing gifts of gold

and there were trumpets playing

there were angels looking down
F
on a west bank town
C G Am G
and he so loved the world!

wore we then our warmest capes

wore we then our walking shoes

opened wide the city gates

verse:

a child is born

born in Bethlehem

born in a cattle pen

a child is born on the killing floor

and still he no crying makes

still as the air is he

lying so prayfully

there waiting for the war

welcome home, my child

your home is a checkpoint now

your home is a border town

welcome to the brawl

life ain't fair, my child

put your hands in the air, my child

slowly now, single file, now
C G (no extra Am and G here)
up against the wall

chorus:

wear we now our warmest coats

wear we now our walking shoes
