The Manger

They're Putting Decorations Up In Front Of My Old Church

The Shepherds And The Wise Men And The Hay

There's Joseph And His Mary Lookin' Down At Heaven's Birth

And The Angel's Saying Don't You Be Afraid

It Makes Me Stop And Think About How You Showed Up Down Here

In A Humble Bed Made Of Nails And Wood

You Could Have Picked A Palace, Something More Fit For A King

But Then The Story Wouldn't Be As Good

From The Highest Of The High

To The Lowest Of The Low

That Stable Tells A Story Of The Distance You Will Go

For The Lonely And The Lost

There's No Sinner Too Far Gone To Find A Savior

Lying In The Manger

There's A Star Up In The Sky That's Calling All The Least Of These

Come Make Your Way To Where Your Hope Is Found

If I'm Honest Some Days I Feel Too Far Out Of Reach

But The Manger Reminds Me Love Reached Down

You Were Carried By A Manger And Just 33 Years Later

By A Rugged Cross Made From Nails And Wood

And The Tears Fill Up My Eyes, You Didn't Have To Give Your Life

But Then The Story Wouldn't Be As Good
