Jesus was born in a Manger
To most he was just a stranger
But shepherds bowed down
And kings came to town
To worship him feeling no danger
He grew up a carpenters son
No one thought he was anyone
The wise men asked questions
He answered the best ones
Astonishing them one by one
Baptized in the river Jordan
A dove descended upon Him
The heavens spoke out
With an audible shout
This is my Son, I adore Him
He ministered healing for all
That brought people to Him from afar
He was healing the deaf
And raising the dead
And making the lame man to walk
But the religious ones of that day
Thought that He would turn men from their way
So the plotted against Him
Caused the people to curse Him
As the shouted to kill Him one day
They beat Him and His flesh was torn
Then they crowned Him with braids of thorns
He carried His cross
To a great hill of loss
And there He was quite unadorned
He cried Father forgive all of them
Words that ripped through the heart of men
He bowed down His head
By himself He was dead
He provided the ransom for all time
For this little child born in the hay
Brought Salvation to all that day
He's the Great I AM
And the Son of Man
All you must do is love Him today
Bow your head and ask His forgiveness
He will fill you with righteousness
And soon you will see
Your home eternally
In heaven adoring His holiness
Son of God
