Beyond The Manger
Words and Music by Rebecca J. Peck

Verse 1
Sweet little child in Mary's arms,
the precious babe of Bethlehem,
sent to reveal the Father's heart,
a 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 pow'r
upon a hill called Calvary.

Chorus
Beyond the manger stood the cross,
awaiting Him the awful cost,
born to die and save the lost.
Beyond the manger stood the cross.

Verse 2
The angels sang; the earth rejoiced.
The shepherds knelt to see His face,
but while they praised this baby boy,
a 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.

Bridge
How beautiful the moment
when our Savior arrived,
but so much greater is the wonder
that He laid down His life.

Last chorus & tag
Beyond the manger stood the cross,
awaiting 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!
