He was the son of a virgin, Mary
While the shepherds watch
and angels praise
The sheep overlook where the young child lays
And he was teaching 'fore they knew it,
but yet even then,
they knew He would save us from sin
You know that He would save us from sin
Christ's in the manger
and the prophecy's true
God came as man to save me and save you
Better get ready 'cause I don't know when
He is coming back again, yeah
You know that He can save us from sin
Jesus was baptized just the other day
God said "Well done my Son" on a heavenly ray
He went off to the desert just to get away
Met the devil out there and He heard him say
"If you're hungry Christ make some bread from these stones"
Christ told the devil "It is quite well known
Man does not live by bread alone"
Christ's in the manger
and the prophecy's true
God came as man to save me and save you
Better get ready 'cause I don't know when
He is coming back again, yeah
You know that He can save us from sin
Well He came into town just the other day
He waved to the crowd so triumphantly
And the people cheered and they threw bouquets
And they laid down their cloaks in the donkey's way
But they all expected Him to free Israel from Rome
Not create for them a heav'nly home
Christ's in the manger
and the prophecy's true
God came as man to save me and save you
Better get ready 'cause I don't know when
He is coming back again, yeah
You know that He can save us from sin
He hung on the cross and they all were dismayed
His friends all ran 'cause they were afraid
Their spirits were low and the skies were gray
But He lived and He arose by the very third day
Then He taught them forty days and when He was all done
There was no doubt He was God's own Son
Jesus was God's own Son
As He rose into Heaven He said "wait and see,
You're all gonna be like me, yeah,
You're all gonna preach like me"
Christ's in the manger
and the prophecy's true
God came as man to save me and save you
Better get ready 'cause I don't know when
He is coming back again, yeah
You know that He can save us from sin
Christ's in the manger
and the prophecy's true
God came as man to save me and save you
Better get ready 'cause I don't know when
He is coming back again, yeah
You know we'll have a good time then
