Manger Throne

What kind of king would leave His throne
In heav'n to make this earth His home
While men seek fame and great renown
In lowliness our king comes down

Jesus, Jesus precious one
How we thank you that you've come
Jesus, Jesus precious one
Of manger throne for God's own son

You left the sound of angel's praise
To come for men with unkind ways
And by this baby's helplessness
The power of nations is laid to rest

Jesus, Jesus precious one
How we thank you that you've come
Jesus, Jesus precious one
Of manger throne for God's own son

What kind of king would come so small
From glory to a humble stall
That dirty manger is my heart, too
I'll make it a royal throne for you

Jesus, Jesus precious one
How we thank you that you've come
Jesus, Jesus precious one
Of manger throne for God's own son

Jesus, Jesus precious one (precious Jesus)
How we thank you that you've come
Jesus, Jesus precious one
Of manger throne (my heart is a throne)
My heart is a throne for God's own son
