♫ 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


♫ Interlude:

♫ 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
