Tone: [A]
 
Intro:
[A] [D] [A] [D] [E] [A]
 
Verse 1:
[A]They're putting decorations up in front of my old church
The [D]shepherds and the [E]wise men and the [A]hay
There's [D]Joseph and his Mary lookin' [A]down at Heaven's [Gbm]birth
And the [D]angel's saying [E]don't you be a[A]afraid
 
Verse 2:
[A]It makes me stop and think about how You showed up down here
In a [D]humble bed [E]made of nails [A]and wood
You [D]could have picked a palace, something [A]more fit for a [Gbm]King
But [D]then the story [E]wouldn't be [A]as good
 
Chorus:
From the [D]highest of the high
To the [A]lowest of the low
That [Gbm]stable tells a story of the [E]distance You will go
For the [D]lonely and the lost
There's no [A]sinner too far [Gbm]gone to find a [D]Savior
Lying in the [A]manger [D] [A]
 
Verse 3:
[A]There's a star up in the sky that's calling [D]all the least of [A]these
Come [D]make your way to [E]where your hope [A]is found
[D]If I'm honest some days I feel [A]too far out of [Gbm]reach
But the [D]manger re[E]reminds me love [A]reached down
 
Chorus:
From the [D]highest of the high
To the [A]lowest of the low
That [Gbm]stable tells a story of the [E]distance You will go
For the [D]lonely and the lost
There's no [A]sinner too far [Gbm]gone to find a [D]Savior
Lying in the [A]manger
 
Interlude:
[D] [A] [D] [E] [A]
Verse 4:
You were [A]carried by a manger and just [D]33 years [A]later
By a [D]rugged cross [E]made from nails [A]and wood
And the [D]tears fill up my eyes, You didn't [A]have to give Your [Gbm]life
But [D]then the story [E]wouldn't be [A]as good
 
Chorus:
From the [D]highest of the high
To the [A]lowest of the low
That [Gbm]stable tells a story of the [E]distance You will go
For the [D]lonely and the lost
There's no [A]sinner too far [Gbm]gone to find a [D]Savior
Lying in the [A]manger
 
Interlude:
[D] [A] [D] [E] [A]
Outro:
Away in a manger, no [D]crib for a [A]bed
The [E]little Lord Jesus laid [D]down his sweet [A]head
The stars in the sky looked [D]down where he [A]lay
The [E]little Lord [Gbm]Jesus a[D]asleep on the [A]hay
