Sweet little child in Mary's arms
The precious Babe of Bethlehem
Sent to reveal the Father's heart
C love that we can't comprehend
So bittersweet, those first few hours
To see His tiny hands and feet
For they would feel sin's dreadful power
Upon a hill called Calvary
Beyond the manger stood the cross
Cwaiting Him the awful cost
Born to die and save the lost
Beyond the manger stood the cross
The angels sang; the earth rejoiced
The shepherds knelt to see His face
But while they praised this baby Boy
C shadow fell across the hay
Those rugged timbers brought Him down
From Heaven's royal throne above
To wear a lowly sinner's crown
To bear our shame, to shed His blood
Beyond the manger stood the cross
Cwaiting Him the awful cost
Born to die and save the lost
Beyond the manger stood the cross
How beautiful the moment
When our Savior arrived
But so much greater is the wonder
That He laid down His life
Beyond the manger stood the cross
Cwaiting Him the awful cost
Born to die and save the lost
Beyond the manger
Beyond the manger
Beyond the manger stood the cross
The cross
The cross!

Sweet little child in Mary's arms
The precious Babe of Bethlehem
Sent to reveal the Father's heart
C love that we can't comprehend
So bittersweet, those first few hours
To see His tiny hands and feet
For they would feel sin's dreadful power
Upon a hill called Calvary
Beyond the manger stood the cross
Cwaiting Him the awful cost
Born to die and save the lost
Beyond the manger stood the cross
The angels sang; the earth rejoiced
The shepherds knelt to see His face
But while they praised this baby Boy
C shadow fell across the hay
Those rugged timbers brought Him down
From Heaven's royal throne above
To wear a lowly sinner's crown
To bear our shame, to shed His blood
Beyond the manger stood the cross
Cwaiting Him the awful cost
Born to die and save the lost
Beyond the manger stood the cross
How beautiful the moment
When our Savior arrived
But so much greater is the wonder
That He laid down His life
Beyond the manger stood the cross
Cwaiting Him the awful cost
Born to die and save the lost
Beyond the manger
Beyond the manger
Beyond the manger stood the cross
The cross
The cross!

Cwaiting Him the awful cost
Born to die and save the lost
