See that star in the eastern sky
Well, it ain't just a starry night
It's a flicker of hope to let the world know
The darkness will soon be light
See that stable and a manger low
Ain't just a manger, no
It's what Heaven used to show me and you
Just how far His love will go
Make way
Make way for the king of kings
Let heaven and nature sing
A savior is born today, make way
Make room
Make room for the promised one
Immanuel, God with us
A savior is born today, make way
The angels, they lift their song
But it's more than just another song
It's their invitation to all creation
Come see what love has done
Make way
Make way for the king of kings
Let heaven and nature sing
A savior is born today, make way
Make room
Make room for the promised one
Immanuel, God with us
A savior is born today, make way
All God's children, make way
Make way
Glory to God in the highest
Glory to God in the highest
Glory to God in the highest
Peace on earth, good will to men
Glory to God in the highest (glory to God)
Glory to God in the highest (glory to God)
Glory to God in the highest
Peace on earth, good will to men
Make way
Make way for the king of kings
Let heaven and nature sing
A savior is born today, make way
Make room
Make room for the promised one
Immanuel, God with us
A savior is born today, make way
Make way
Make way for the king of kings
Let heaven and nature sing
A savior is born today, make way
Make room
Make room for the promised one
Immanuel, God with us
A savior is born today, make way
