Mary Ryan - The Cross & The Manger

He came as a Babe
In a manger of hay
Born to us
On Christmas Day
But through the years
He grew to a man
Destined to die
According to God's loving plan
From the mange rto the cross
Seems a long long way
When we think of the Babe
Born on Christmas Day
But the cross and the manger
Are both part of the story
So God can give us
His grace and His Glory

(Christmas 2006)
