They're putting decorations
up in front of my old church
The shepherds and the wise men
There's Joseph and his Mary
looking down at heaven's birth
It makes me stop and think about
how you showed up down here
In a humble bed made of nails and wood
You could have picked a palace,
something more fit for a king
From the highest of the high
That stable tells a story
of the distance you will go
For the lonely and the lost,
there's no sinner too far gone
There's a star up in the sky
and it's calling all the least of these
to where your hope is found
I feel too far out of reach
But the manger reminds me
From the highest of the high
But the stable tells a story
of the distance you will go
For the lonely and the lost
There's no sinner too far gone
You were carried by a manger
And the tears filled up my eyes
You didn't have to give your life
From the highest of the high
and to the lowest of the low
That stable tells the story
of the distance you will go
there's no sinner too far gone
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus laid
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay
