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
looking down at heaven's birth
And the angels 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 would
n'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
I am in the manger
There's a star up in the sky
and it'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
From the highest of the high
to the lowest of the low
But the 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 sa vior
Lyin' in the manger
Oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh
You were carried by a manger
and just 33 years later
By a rugged cross made
from nails and wood
And the tears filled up my eyes
You didn't have to give your life
But then the story would
n't be as good
From the highest of the high
and to the lowest of the low
That stable tells the story
of the distance you will go
The lonely and the lost,
there's no sinner too far gone
To find the Savior
Lying in the manger
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus laid
down His sweet head
The stars in the sky
look down where he lay
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay
