♫ Verse 1:
F
They're putting decorations up in front of my old church
  G         F        F
The shepherds and the wise men and the hay
    G              F        C#m
There's Joseph and his Mary lookin' down at Heaven's birth
    G       F       F
And the angel's saying don't you be afraid

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


♫ Chorus:
     G
From the highest of the high
    F
To the lowest of the low
   C#m             F
That stable tells a story of the distance You will go
    G
For the lonely and the lost
      F       C#m      G
There's no sinner too far gone to find a Savior
       F    G F
Lying in the manger


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


♫ Chorus:
     G
From the highest of the high
    F
To the lowest of the low
   C#m             F
That stable tells a story of the distance You will go
    G
For the lonely and the lost
      F       C#m      G
There's no sinner too far gone to find a Savior
       F
Lying in the manger


♫ Interlude:

♫ Verse 4:
     F              G    F
You were carried by a manger and just 33 years later
   G      F        F
By a rugged cross made from nails and wood
    G                 F         C#m
And the tears fill up my eyes
You didn't have to give Your life
  G       F      F
But then the story wouldn't be as good


♫ Chorus:
     G
From the highest of the high
    F
To the lowest of the low
   C#m             F
That stable tells a story of the distance You will go
    G
For the lonely and the lost
      F       C#m      G
There's no sinner too far gone to find a Savior
       F
Lying in the manger

♫ Outro:
N.C.         G     F
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed
  F           G       F
The little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head
              G       F
The stars in the sky looked down where he lay
  F      C#m  G      F
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay
