Treasure in a Manger (Acoustic) ft. Autumn Holtgren & John Njihia Lyrics

There was a manger

Which held a stranger

It was dirty, unfit for a King

An unsightly picture

no one considered

The impact and change it would bring

We were scared, unprepared,

Undeserving and yet we've seen

Oh we've seen

You took the desert and made new ground

What we saw as lost, in You is found

When we saw the thorns, You saw a crown

Life turned around

When You put Your treasure in a manger

There is a savior

Who came for the traitors

Children, unworthy of love

He carried our burdens

Through the uncertain

A gift from God above

You took the desert and made new ground

What we saw as lost, in You is found

When we saw the thorns, You saw a crown

Life turned around

When You put Your treasure in a manger

Even at our worst, you came into the world

Shining your light in the dark

So no matter who we are, or where we've been

There's always a place in His heart

Even at our worst, you came into the world

Shining your light in the dark

So no matter who we are, or where we've been

There's always a place in His heart

You took the desert and made new ground

What we saw as lost, in You is found

When we saw the thorns, You saw a crown

Life turned around

When You put Your treasure in a manger
