Verse 1
They’re
A
putting decorations up
In
D/A
front of my old
A
church
The
D
shepherds and the
E
wise men and the
A
hay
There’s
D
Joseph and his Mary lookin’
A
Down at
E/G#
Heaven’s
F#m7
birth
And the
D
angel’s saying:
E
Don’t you be a
A
fraid
Verse 2
It
A
makes me stop and think about how
D/A
You showed up down
A
here
In a
D
humble bed
E
made of nails and
A
wood
You
D
could have picked a palace
Something
A
more fit
E/G#
for a
F#m7
King
But
D
then the story
E
wouldn’t be as
A
good
Chorus
From the
D
highest of the high
To the
A
lowest of the low
That
F#m7
stable tells a story of
The
E
distance You will go
For the
D
lonely and the lost
There’s no
A
sinner
E/G#
too far
F#m7
gone
To find a
D2
Savior
Dm
Lying in the
A
manger
D/A
A
Verse 3
There’s a
A
star up in the sky that’s
Calling
D/A
all the least of
A
these
Come
D
make your way to
E
where your hope is
A
found
D
If I’m honest some days I feel
A
Too far
E/G#
out of
F#m7
reach
But the
D
manger re
E
minds me love reached
A
down
REPEAT CHORUS
Turnaround
D
Oh
E
oh
A
oh
A
Verse 4
You were
A
carried by a manger and just
D/A
Thirty-three years
A
later
By a
D
rugged cross
E
made from nails and
A
wood
And the
D
tears fill up my eyes
You didn’t
A
have to
E/G#
give Your
F#m7
life
But
D
then the story
E
wouldn’t be as
A
good
A
REPEAT CHORUS
Turnaround

A
way in a manger, no
D
crib for a
A
bed
The

little Lord Jesus lay
D
down His sweet
A
head
The

D
down where He
A
lay
The
Esus
little Lord
F#m7
Jesus a
D
sleep on the
A
hay
