“From the Manger to the Cross”
From the manger to the cross, Jesus came to save the lost.
The King of Kings abandoned His throne.
Leaving heaven above, He came to earth, a gift of love
In His birth and His death, He stood alone.
The life He led and the blood that He shed
Brought hope and established the way
That all who believe, and all who receive
Would share in His kingdom one day.
A response is due, from me and from you
When we awaken on this Christmas morn
Let our first thoughts be to fall on our knees
And worship the Child who was born.
