the horse's hay beneath his head
A F# E
our Lord was born to a manger bed
E A
that all whose wells run dry
F# E
could drink of his supply
E A
to keep him warm, the sheep drew near
F# E
so grateful for His coming here
E A
come with news of grace
F# E
come to take my place
E
the donkey whispered in his ear
A F# E
"child, in 30-some-odd years
E A
you'll ride someone who looks like me
F# E
untriumphantly"
E A
the cardinals warbled a joyful song
F# E
he'll make right what man made wrong
E
bringing low the hills
A F# E
that the valleys might be filled
E A
then "child", asked the birds
F# E
"well, aren't they lovely words we sing?"
E A
the tiny baby lay there
F# E
without saying anything
E
at a distance stood a mangy goat
A F# E
with the crooked teeth and a matted coat
E A
weary eyes and worn
F# E
chipped and twisted horns
E A
thinking "maybe I'll make friends someday
F# E
with the cows and the hens in the rambouillet
E A
but for now, I'll keep away
F# E
I've got nothing smart to say"
E A
there's a sign on the barn
F# E
in the cabbage town

E A
"when the rain picks up
F# E
and the sun goes down
E A
sinners, come inside
F# E
with no money, come and buy
E A
no clever talk, nor a gift to bring
F# E
requires our lowly, lovely king
E A
come you, empty handed,
F#
you don't need anything"

E A
and the night was cool and clear as glass
F# E
with the sneaking snake in the garden grass
E A
deep cried out to deep
F# E
the disciples fast asleep
E A
and the snake perked up when he heard You ask
F# E
"if you're willing that this cup might pass
E
we could find our way back home
A F# E
maybe start a family all our own"
E A
"but does not the Father guide the Son?
F# E
not my will, but yours be done.
E A
what else here to do?
F# E
what else for me, but You?"
E A
and the snake who'd held the world
F# E
a stick, a carrot and a string
E A
was crushed beneath the foot
F# E
of your not wanting anything
