Let your heart be a manger
The Savior, there, to live
He came down not a stranger
But a king joy and peace to give.

He left the heavenly glory
To bring Heaven in you and me
It’s the most beautiful story
That only soul’s eyes can see.

A deep darkness reigned everywhere
They needed the Light of the World
Who came to them to declare:
“Be opened to the divine Word”

Access to his love is for all
There is no excuse to say “No”
Respond to His holy call
Do it right now! Don’t be slow!

Invite Him without postponing
He wants to be your best friend
He gives you peace not warning
From above revelations He’ll send.

Express openly your gladness
God came to you to be free
To change in joy your sadness
Forever with Him to be.

It will be the best celebration
You will rejoice; you will sing
Christmas is grace and reflection,
Christmas the best gift can bring.

Let your heart be a manger
The Savior, there, to live
He came down not a stranger
But a king joy and peace to give.
