He Made A Way In A Manger

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

Chorus:
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
Continues after the ad
          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                            
His mother smiled in wonder As 
   E
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          
The stars in the sky looked down 
              E
where He lay
F#m           E               
The little Lord Jesus, asleep 
F#m    A         B    A
on the hay.
