Lyrics

Little Baby in the Manger
©2017 Barbara T Webber and Thomas C Webber

Little Baby in the manger
Turn the darkness into day
Little Baby in the manger
Your story will show us the way

Traveling hard and traveling far
At the whim of governments
Your parents’ struggles are mirrored
In the eyes of immigrants
Chorus

Humble linens, a bed of straw
A borrowed stable in the inn
Like the homeless in our shelters
Hoping to be taken in
Chorus

An angel’s warning in a dream
Death is coming, you must flee
So the family left their homeland
Like so many refugees

Bridge
From the earthen walls, not palace halls
Came our baby Lord
All are welcome, all are blessed from
Heavenly love out poured
Chorus

Out of wedlock or adopted
Blended families of all kinds
Discard the stigma of normal
Love changes hearts and minds
Chorus
