A Way In the Manger
Out of a manger, one named Emmanuel
for three years sought to show His kinsmen the Way.
The Light of the World, His lips hasted to tell
of sweet forgiveness when men choose to obey.
Away from the manger, do we celebrate
the birth of a Savior angels don’t discern?
We claim Him as our Lord, yet we hesitate
to share His forgiveness so our kinsmen can learn -
the Way in a manger quickly came to a cross;
the Truth, the Life, and the Way - God's master plan.
When we keep Him a secret, earth suffers loss.
Yet His Spirit stays, the yoke of sin to outspan.
