Manger
Yeah, I've heard it all before
Lights on the trees wreaths upon the doors
Yeah, the story hits my ears
But am I too far gone
I feel older than my years
And too dirty a container to hold a Holy King
Too worn by grit and grain
To be good for noble things
As often as I've heard the story
Now I'm listening
Come to find me and that manger
Might be the same damned thing
I hold the king inside
Dirty as I've always been
The king is still alive
His blood washes all my sin
Maybe Christmastime
Can remind me once again
To be like that old manger
Hold the Savior safe within
Can the wonder break on through?
That a heart this cold
Is still good for something new
And would angels sing along?
If I poured out my doubts
Making room for Savior songs
Not too dirty a container to hold a holy king
Not Too worn by grit and grain
To be good for noble things
As often as I've heard the story
Now I'm listening
Come to find me and that manger
Might be the same damned thing
I hold the king inside
Dirty as I've always been
The king is still alive
His blood washes all my sin
Maybe Christmastime
Can remind me once again
To be like that old manger
Hold the Savior safe within
And hold the King inside
The King is still alive
Maybe Christmastime
Can remind me once again
To be like that old manger
Hold the Savior safe within
Lights on the trees wreaths upon the doors
Yeah, the story hits my ears
But am I too far gone
I feel older than my years
And too dirty a container to hold a Holy King
Too worn by grit and grain
To be good for noble things
As often as I've heard the story
Now I'm listening
Come to find me and that manger
Might be the same damned thing
I hold the king inside
Dirty as I've always been
The king is still alive
His blood washes all my sin
Maybe Christmastime
Can remind me once again
To be like that old manger
Hold the Savior safe within
Can the wonder break on through?
That a heart this cold
Is still good for something new
And would angels sing along?
If I poured out my doubts
Making room for Savior songs
Not too dirty a container to hold a holy king
Not Too worn by grit and grain
To be good for noble things
As often as I've heard the story
Now I'm listening
Come to find me and that manger
Might be the same damned thing
I hold the king inside
Dirty as I've always been
The king is still alive
His blood washes all my sin
Maybe Christmastime
Can remind me once again
To be like that old manger
Hold the Savior safe within
And hold the King inside
The King is still alive
Maybe Christmastime
Can remind me once again
To be like that old manger
Hold the Savior safe within
