Outside everything is fallin'
The leaves, the light, the snow
But inside every heart is longing
For a thrill of hope
You see that star up in the sky?
It's callin' out for us tonight
Come find the peace that passes understanding
Come see the reason all the angels sing
Come all ye hopeless and all ye faithful
Lyin' in a manger is the King of Kings
Lyin' in a manger is the King of Kings
It's more than just another story
A girl, a child, three kings
This one uncovers heaven's glory
For all eternity
Ooh, you see that star up in the sky?
It's our tonight
Come find the peace that passes understanding
Come see the reason all the angels sing
Come all ye hopeless and all ye faithful
Lyin' in a manger is the King of Kings
Lyin' in a manger is the King of Kings
(Oh) The angels sing
(Oh) He is the King of Kings
Come all ye hopeless and all ye faithful
Lyin' in a manger is the King of Kings
Inside every heart is longin'
For a thrill of hope, oh
Come find the wonder of a new beginning
Come see the One who changes everything
Come all ye sinners, join deliverance
Lyin' in a manger is the King of Kings
Lyin' in a manger is the King of Kings
(Oh) The angels sing
(Oh) He is the King of Kings
Come all ye hopeless and all ye faithful
Lyin' in a manger is the King of Kings
The King of Kings
He is the King of Kings
