THE WAY in a Manger

By Jim Hammond

THE WAY in a manger,
No crib for His bed
The little Lord Jesus
Laid down His sweet head

These comforts will leave Him
As He Makes THE WAY
His Journey’s a long one  
Here’s what He did say:  

“The Foxes have holes,
and the birds have their nests
THE WAY in a manger
Has no place to rest

The leaders are furious
They threaten My life
If you want to follow
You’ll also face strife
 

I A-M THE WA-Y
The Truth, And the life
Can’t come to the father,
Except through my life

The Way of the Cross
Is through Self Denial
Will you come and follow
No matter the trial?
 

I’ve shown You the Way
And I Rose from the Dead
Come My Dear Children
Please Get Out of Bed!
 

Be Near me my children
I ask you to stay
Close by me forever
And love me I pray
