| A child was born just the other day 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 | |||
