He Made A Way In A Manger/away In A Manger Lyrics - Candi Pearson-shelton

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 to the cross 

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 

Chorus: 

He made a way in a manger 

A way to the cross 

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 

Away in a manger, no crib for his 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
