This is an original composition I wrote. Lyrics and chords are as follows (due to formatting, the chords may not match up exactly).

D A G
Dark and chill, the evening lay
D G
They could find no place to stay
D . A G
So they laid you in the hay
A G D
Upon a bed of stone

D A G A G
A bed of stone, a humble place, not fitting for a king,
D A G A G D
a bed of stone your mother chose there was no other space.

D A G D
Teaching and traveling from town to town
D A G D
You had no place that you could call your own
D A G
and so You slept beneath the stars
A G D
Upon a bed of stone

D A G A G
A bed of stone, a humble place, not fitting for a king
D A G A G D
A bed of stone to lay your head because you had no home

D A G D
Sold for silver, tried and condemned
D G
You bore the cross and died for all of men
D A G
They took your body down and laid it in a tomb
A G D
Laid it upon a bed of stone.

D A G A G
A bed of stone, sealed by a stone, not fitting for a king
D A G A G D
A bed of stone, your resting place but not eternally!

G A D
The grave could not hold you, you rose in three days
G A D A
the stone sits there empty, the other rolled away!

D A G A G D
A bed of stone empty now because you are the King
D A G A G D
Jesus Christ, first and last for all eternity!
