A Manger and a Cross

There's a star tonight
In the evening sky
And I have to see My king
There's a little child
Who brings the dark to light
And my gift I'll bring To Him
The night you came down to the earth
The heavens they did shine
Angels voices filled the air
With promises Divine
But one day in another place
You'll Walk a hill to die
And heaven will lay silent
And the sun refuse to shine
I can hear the sound
Of a mocking crowd
So I make my way To see
Is this the King
From that manger scene
On that cross For me
They laid you in a manger
Now they lay you on a cross
Kings they came and worshipped
Now the people come to mock
The tiny head so gently held
Now wears a crown of thorns
The child from that starry night
Is nailed To a cross
This Child born
A world to save
Rescued the sinner
From the grave
He bore our sin
He took our shame
He wore our skin
And felt our pain
He poured His life out
On a cross
His blood was spilled
To save the lost
I'll never know
Just what it cost
A manger, and a cross
