He Made A Way In A Manger
Longing for a Savior A hopeless world would wait
Sin demanded justice At a price we could not pay;
But God displayed his mercy The greatest gift of love
When we could not reach heaven
Heaven came to us.
Chorus:
He made a way in a manger
A way through the Son
Messiah the promised
Before time had begun;
For God so loved this world
Though he knew what love would cost
He made a way in a manger
To make a way to the cross.
In Bethlehem a stable Became a throne of grace
As God himself our Savior
Drew near to take our place;
His mother smiled in wonder As shepherds stood in awe
The sacrifice of heaven
Lay sleeping in the straw.
Bridge:
He is the life that died our death
The precious Lord Jesus
Laid down his sweet head.
Bridge 2:
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.
