Fr. Bill’s CD Lyrics
Blanket of Stars: What Did You See from Your Manger?
What did you SEE from your manger?
Your mother’s eyes, Joseph’s surprise, a world in need?
When your Glory shone all around
As the shepherds and kings came to town
Jesus, what did you SEE from your manger?
What did you FEEL in your manger?
After you were told “there’s just no room at the Inn”
If rejection by man was in your Father’s plan,
What did you FEEL in your manger?
Tell me—what did you HEAR from your manger?
The prayer and cry of all the nations to be saved?
The gasp of shepherds, the sound of sheep,
Hey—how’s a child supposed to sleep,
What did you HEAR from your manger?
And what do WE FIND in your manger?
The gift of life, the love of God, food for the soul?
The Body and Blood that set us free,
So we can taste eternity,
You’re the one we SEEK AND FIND in the manger!
Lord, help me PLACE MY HEART into your manger!
Let it be daily re-born with Trust in your Name!
Not just on a Christmas night
That you call me your delight
Jesus, help me PLACE MY HEART into your manger.
