The Manger Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]The[C]y'r[G]e[C][D][G]
putting decorations
up in [C]front of my old [G]church
The [C]shepherds and [D]the Wise
Men and [G]the hay
There's [C]Joseph and his Mary lookin'
[G]down at Heaven's [Em]birth
And the [C]angel's saying [D]don't you be [G]afraid

[Verse 2]
It [G]makes me stop and think about
how You [C]showed up down [G]here
In a [C]humble bed [D]made of nails an[G]d wood
You [C]could have picked a palace,
something more [G]fit for [Em]a King
But [C]then the story [D]wouldn't be [G]as good

[Verse 3]
From the [C]highest of the high
to [G]the lowest of the low
That [Em]stable tells a story of
the dis[D]tance You will go
For the [C]lonely and the lost,
there's no sin[G]ner too [D]far gone
[Em]To find a Savior[C] lyin'[Cm] in
the manger
[G][C]

[Verse 4]
[G]
There's a star up in the sky that's
calling [C]all the least [G]of these
Come [C]make your way to where
[D]your hope is [G]found
[C]If I'm honest,
some days I feel [G]too far out of [Em]reach
But [C]the manger re[D]minds me
love [G]reached down

[Verse 5]
From the [C]highest of the high to
the [G]lowest of the low
That [Em]stable tells a story of
the dis[D]tance You will go
For [C]the lonely and the lost,
there's no [G]sinner [D]too [G]far [Em]gone
To find [C]a Savior [Cm]ly in' in
the manger
[G][C]

[Verse 6]
[G]
Oh, oh, [C]oh

[Interlude 1]
[D][G]

[Verse 7]
You were [G]carried by a manger,
and just [C]thirty-three years years [G]later
By a [C]rugged cross [D]made
from nails an[G]d wood
And [C]the tears fill up my eyes,
You didn't [G]have to give [D]Your [Em]life
But [C]then the story [D]wouldn't be [G]as good

[Verse 8]
From the [C]highest of the high
to [G]the lowest of the low
That [Em]stable tells a story of
the dis[D]tance You will go
For the [C]lonely and the lost,
there's no sin[G]ner too [D]far gone
[Em]To find a Savior[C] lyin'[Cm] in
the manger
[G][C][G][C][D]

[Verse 9]
[G]
Away in a manger, no [C]crib for a [G]bed
The [D]little Lord Jesus laid [C]down
His sweet [G]head
The stars in the sky looked
[C]down where He [G]lay
The [D]little Lord [Em]Jesus, [C]asleep on the hay
