He Made a Way in a Manger/Away in a Manger Lyrics

Longing for a Saviour
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

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 Saviour drew near to take our place
His mother smiled in wonder
The shepherds stood in awe
The sacrifice of Heaven
Lay sleeping in the straw

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

He is the life who died our death
The precious Lord Jesus
Layed down His sweet head

Away in a manger
A crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus
Layed down His sweet head

The stars in the sky looked down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay
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
