A Christmas Song

And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in swaddling cloths and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn. (Luke 2:7 ESV)

CHORUS

C              Am

Born in a manger;

F           G                 C              Am

     Our Lord could not find a bed,

F         G              C                          Am

     No pillow on which to lay His head.

F                   G               C - Am

     He could not find a home,

F                    G               C – Am – F - G

     He could not find a home.

 

VERSE 1

C                                          Am

What will you do with our Savior,

F                    G               C                   Am

     Will you give Him a room in your home?

F        G                    C                 Am

     A pillow and a place to lie down,

F                          G                C - Am

     Or leave Him out in the cold?

F                                    G               C – Am – F - G

     Will you leave Him out in the cold?
