    • Verse 1
    the Horse's 
    hay 
    beneath 
    his 
    head 

    our 
    Lord 
    was 
    born 
    to 
    a manger 
    bed 

    that 
    all 
    whose 
    well
    s run 
    dry 

    could 
    drink 
    of 
    his 
    supply 

    to 
    keep 
    him 
    warm 
    the Sheep 
    drew 
    near, 

    so 
    grateful 
    for 
    his 
    coming 
    here: 

    You come 
    with 
    news 
    of 
    grace, 

    come 
    to 
    take 
    my 
    place! 

    Verse 2

    the 
    Donkey 
    whispered 
    in 
    his 
    ear: 

    Child, 
    in 
    thirty-some-odd 
    years, 

    years, 

    years, 

    you'll 
    ride 
    someone 
    who 
    looks 

    like 
    me 

    (untriumphantly) 

    Verse 3
    while 
    the Cardinals 
    warbled 

    a 
    joyful 
    song: 

    He'll 
    make 
    right 
    what 

    man 
    made 
    wrong 

    Bringing 
    low 
    the 
    hills 

    that 
    the 
    valley 
    might 
    be 
    filled! 

    then 
    Child, 
    asked 
    the 
    birds, 

    well, 
    aren't 
    they 
    lovely 

    words 
    we 
    sing? 

    Verse 4
    the tiny 
    Baby 
    lay 
    there 

    without 
    say
    ing 
    anything 

    Verse 5
    at 
    a 
    distance 
    stood 
    a 
    mangy 
    Goat 

    with 
    crooked 
    teeth 
    and 
    a 
    matted 
    coat, 

    weary 
    eyes 
    and 
    worn, 

    chipped 
    & twis
    ted 
    horns 

    thinking: 

    Maybe 
    I'll 
    make 
    friends 
    some 
    day 

    with 
    the Cows 
    in 
    the 
    pens 

    and 
    the 
    Rambouillet, 

    but 
    for 
    now 
    I'll 
    keep 
    away 
    - 

    I 
    got 
    nothin' 
    smart 
    to say 

    but 
    there's 
    a sign 
    on 
    the 
    barn 

    in 
    the 
    Cabbagetown: 

    WHEN 
    THE 
    RAIN 
    Verse 6
    PICKS 
    UP 

    AND 
    THE SUN 
    GOES 
    DOWN, 

    SIN
    NER, 
    COME 
    INSIDE! 

    WITH 
    NO 
    MONEY, 
    COME 
    AND 
    BUY 

    NO 
    CLEVER 
    TALK 
    NOR 

    GIFT 
    TO 
    BRING 

    REQUIRES 
    OUR 
    LOWLY, 
    LOVELY 
    KING 

    COME, 
    ALL 
    EMPTYHANDED 

    YOU 
    DON'T 
    NEED 
    ANYTHING 

    Interlude 1




    Verse 7
    the 
    night 
    was 
    cool 
    and 
    clear 
    as 
    glass 

    with 
    a sneaking 
    Snake 
    in 

    the 
    garden 
    grass 

    Deep 
    cried 
    out 
    to 
    Deep, 

    the 
    Dis
    ciples, 
    fast 
    asleep 

    the snake 
    perked 
    up 
    when 

    he 
    heard 
    you 
    ask: 

    Verse 8
    if You're 
    willing 
    that 
    this 
    cup 
    might 
    pass 

    I 
    could 
    find 
    my 
    way 
    back 
    home, 

    maybe 
    start 
    a 
    family 
    all 
    my 
    own...but 

    does 
    not 
    the 
    Father 
    guide 
    the Son? 

    not 
    my 
    will 
    but 
    Yours 
    be 
    done! 

    what 
    else 
    here 
    to do? 

    what 
    else 
    me 
    but 
    You??? 

    Verse 9
    and 
    the snake 
    who'd 
    held 
    the 
    world, 

    a 
    stick, 
    a 
    carrot 
    and 
    a 
    string 

    was 
    crushed 
    beneath 
    the 
    Foot 
    of 

    Your 
    not 
    wanting 

    any
    thing

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
