Lyrics
LAID IN A MANGER
© 1998 words & music by Van Wood
Verse 1
Laid in a manger, treated like a stranger by the ones who should have known,
No reputation, came to bring salvation to the ones who were His own.
Chorus
First they denied Him then they crucified Him, laid him in the grave,
But he rose again, conquered death and sin,
Ever lives to save.
Verse 2
Shepherds in the night saw a holy light, heard the heavenly angels say,
“You will find the babe in a manger laid,
Sleeping on a bed of hay.”
Chorus
First they denied Him then they crucified Him, laid him in the grave,
But he rose again, conquered death and sin,
Ever lives to save
Verse 3
With His healing hand Jesus walked the land
By the shores of Galilee,
Sinners found a friend in this lowly man,
Found His life could set them free.
Chorus
First they denied Him then they crucified Him, laid him in the grave,
But he rose again, conquered death and sin,
Ever lives to save (repeat last line at end).
