Verse 1
Looking 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 1
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
Verse 2
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, sleeping in the straw
Chorus 2
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
Bridge
He is the life who died our death
The precious Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head
Away in a manger, no crib for a 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
Chorus 3
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 made a way
