The Manger (with Josh Turner)

Lyrics

They're puttin' 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 sayin', "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, somethin' 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
 Lyin' in the manger
 There's a star up in the sky that's callin' 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
 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
 Lyin' in the manger
 ♪
 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
 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
 Lyin' 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 looked down where He lay
 The little Lord Jesus, asleep on the hay
