Labor of Love - Andrew Peterson (cover)

Hello again! In light of the Christmas season, I thought I would do a..well, Christmas song. :)

It's a favorite of mine written by Andrew Peterson, sung by Jill Phillips. I hope you enjoy!

Labor of Love

It was not a silent night
There was blood on the ground
You could hear a woman cry
In the alleyway that night
On the streets of David's town

And the stable was not clean
And the cobblestones were cold
And little Mary full of grace
With the tears upon her face
Had no mother's hand to hold

It was a labor of pain
It was a cold sky above
But for the girl on the ground in the dark
Every beat of her beautiful heart
Was a labor of love

Noble Joseph by her side
Callused hands and weary eyes
There were no midwives to be found
In the streets of David's town
In the middle of the night

So he held her and he prayed
Shafts of moonlight on his face
But the baby in her womb
He was the maker of the moon
He was the Author of the faith
That could make the mountains move

It was a labor of pain
It was a cold sky above
But for the girl on the ground in the dark
Every beat of her beautiful heart
Was a labor of love
Little Mary full of grace
With the tears upon her face
It was a labor of love

Cassidy, your voice is as clear as the waters in those beautiful Florida springs. I love how you maintained forward placement throughout, even through decrescendos and pianissimo. Fantastic!

I love this song, and whoever says this song sucks, obviously does not know Jesus as their Saviour, which is sad....=( You sing beautifully XOXO

I didn't expect to like this since it wasn't Jill Phillips, but wow! Great job! You have a beautiful voice. This is one of my all-time favorite Christmas songs.

Can you send me the chords in the key she's playing it in?

[sharkindave35]

tune your guitar to open C. CGCGCE. This is what the song is written in. You'll be amazed at the difference in the guitar sound. Great voice!
