Verso 1

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

Verso 2

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

Refrão

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

Verso 3

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

Refrão

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

Verso 4

You were carried by a manger
And just thirty-three 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

Refrão

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

Ponte

Away in a manger
No crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus lay
Down His sweet head
The stars in the sky
Look down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus
Asleep on the hay
