Anne Wilson feat Josh Turner - The Manger

[Intro]
A D A D E
A

[Verse 1]
A
They’re putting decorations up in front of my old church
D E A
The shepherds and the wise men and the hay
D A F#m
There’s Joseph and his Mary lookin’ down at Heaven’s birth
D E A
And the angel’s saying don’t you be afraid

[Verse 2]
A
It makes me stop and think about how You showed up down here
D E A
In a humble bed made of nails and wood
D A F#m
You could have picked a palace, something more fit for a King
D E A
But then the story wouldn’t be as good

[Chorus]
D
From the highest of the high
A
To the lowest of the low
F#m E
That stable tells a story of the distance You will go
D
For the lonely and the lost
A F#m D
There’s no sinner too far gone to find a Savior
A D A
Lying in the manger

[Verse 3]
A D A
There’s a star up in the sky that’s calling all the least of these
D E A
Come make your way to where your hope is found
D A F#m
If I’m honest some days I feel too far out of reach
D E A
But the manger reminds me love reached down

[Chorus]
D
From the highest of the high
A
To the lowest of the low
F#m E
That stable tells a story of the distance You will go
D
For the lonely and the lost
A F#m D
There’s no sinner too far gone to find a Savior
A
Lying in the manger

[Interlude]
D A D E A

[Verse 4]
A D A
You were carried by a manger and just 33 years later
D E A
By a rugged cross made from nails and wood
D A F#m
And the tears fill up my eyes, You didn’t have to give Your life
D E A
But then the story wouldn’t be as good

[Chorus]
D
From the highest of the high
A
To the lowest of the low
F#m E
That stable tells a story of the distance You will go
D
For the lonely and the lost
A F#m D
There’s no sinner too far gone to find a Savior
A
Lying in the manger

[Interlude]
D A D E A

[Outro]
D A
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed
E D A
The little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head
D A
The stars in the sky looked down where he lay
E F#m D A
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay
