He Made A Way In A Manger

A                       E 
Longing for a Savior A hopeless world would wait  
D                A            E                    B 
Sin demanded justice At a price we could not pay;  
A                               E 
But God displayed his mercy The greatest gift of love  
D                         A    
When we could not reach heaven  
E                 B 
Heaven came to us. 

  
E       A      E               
He made a way in a manger  
B                  E    
A way through the Son 
A             E                  
Messiah the promised  
       Fm         B 
Before time had begun;  
A                      E                
For God so loved this world  
          C#m                   F# 
Though he knew what love would cost  
F#m              E           A         
He made a way in a manger  
B                        A      E 
To make a way to the cross. 



A                       E 
In Bethlehem a stable Became a throne of grace  
D                   A          
As God himself our Savior  
E                      B 
Drew near to take our place;  
A                               E 
His mother smiled in wonder As shepherds stood in awe  
D               A               
The sacrifice of heaven  
E                       B 
Lay sleeping in the straw. 

Bridge:
   
A                        E 
He is the life that died our death  
F#m              E               
The precious Lord Jesus  
C#m     D              E 
Laid down his sweet head. 

Bridge 2:
 
E                       A      E 
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed  
B               E               
The little Lord Jesus  
A              B     C#m     B 
Laid down his sweet head  
E                     A                        E 
The stars in the sky looked down where He lay  
F#m           E               F#m    A         B    A 
The little Lord Jesus, asleep on the hay.
