From The Manger To The Cross

The story's in the Bible it's a message sad but true The life our Saviour lived on earth is told Found upon the pages of the Master's book of truth Every word so precious to my soul From the manger to the cross rugged cross of Calvary The road that Jesus walked for you and me all alone By the world forsaken still He shed His blood for me From the manger to the cross the rugged cross of Calvary Amidst the stranger'ss cattle where the birth of Jesus came The lonely manger kept Him from the cold And there was the beginning of the journey Jesus made Today it is the greatest story told Many wonders were revealed while here on earth He dwelled He healed the sick and made the blind to see Five thousand were the numbers of the hungry who did feast He blessed and multiplied the bread and meat No earthly treasures did He own He sought no wealth or fame Weary was the path He had to trod Here He suffered many things for this world knew Him not He died upon the cross the Son of God
