about

In a Manger is about the baby Jesus born in the straw. They did not expect Christ the king to be born in a barn. Three wise men followed a star and the shepherds were visited by angels about the good news a King was born.

lyrics

IN A MANGER

Intro B F# B F#

B
It was two thousand years ago
F#
When Mary and Joseph rode
A
To the town of Bethlehem
A E
To place their vote
B
And as they had just arrived
F#
Mary expecting a child
E
No room anywhere
E B F#
No inn to stay the night



(Chorus)
B E/B B
In a manger he was born
B E/B E
There in a cattle stall
B E/B B
Christ the Lord a tiny baby
B E/B E B
There he lies in the straw Oh








B
It was then the new day had dawned
F#
When the little baby was born
A
So tenderly Mary held him
A E
Close to her heart
B
And as visitors arrived
F#
To see the blessed child
E
They watched in awe and wonder
E B F#
‘Til it was night



(Chorus)
B E/B B
In a manger he was born
B E/B E
There in a cattle stall
B E/B B
Christ the Lord a tiny baby
B E/B E B
There he lies in the straw Oh













(Bridge)
F#
They did not expect Christ the King
E B
To come in conditions so poor
F#
They came to give gifts worshipping
B F#
In a drab little cattle stall
F#
He came to earth to save all man
E B
Including the lowly and lost
F#
The reason he came on Christmas day
E E7 F#
Was to die for you on the cross Oh

(Repeat Chorus twice)
B E/B B
In a manger he was born
B E/B E
There in a cattle stall
B E/B B
Christ the Lord a tiny baby
B E/B E B
There he lies in the straw Oh

PERSONAL CREDITS

I want to thank Nesta Mitchel my producer for his special direction
And mixing skills, that he provided for this album. I appreciate all the work you have done and professionalism in getting this project off the ground. We had a good laugh and discussion in the studio too.

I would like to thank the Lord for His inspiration from the word of God for this album. This album is about Christmas and the birth of Jesus Christ. This album is special as some tracks talk about the aspect of giving and its true meaning and not so much on the focus of the commercial side to Christmas.

Jingle all the way (which this album is called) is about the story of a King coming into this world as a baby in a lowly stable who will ultimately change the world. The theme of this album is about Christmas and what it means to me. We want to celebrate Jesus birth at Christmas time rather than focus on pagan traditions like Santa Claus.

I hope you enjoy this album which features all original songs rather than traditional carols which arguably have been done to death on many albums recorded by others.

Andrew Mc Donald.
