Sounds like a manger to me

Sounds like a manger to me
by Joel Howard

Many today are stressed, busy
Short, in debt, and without relief
Find yourself in situations like these? 
Sounds like a manger to me

Conflict-ridden? Short on time?
Pointing fingers? Hurt inside?
Christ to this same stable arrived
Sounds like a manger to me

For all the world in need
Christ gives the same remedy
For all broken and hungry
Heaven serves the same recipe
Sounds like a manger
Like a manger to me
Sounds like Christmas to me

Transitions sudden? Lowly esteem?
Leafing through unmet expectations?
Find yourself regretting, unsettled?
Sounds like a manger to me

Questions many? Seeking relief? 
Feeling lonely? Surroundings stink? 
Christ came to a place of equal quality
Sounds like a manger to me

Future unsure save through faith? 
Feel like all is just one mistake?
Christ to that same outlook came
Sounds like a manger to me

Proves the point
Now the same
Christ only to 
A manger came
Vegas? The big city? 
Nashville, Tennessee? 
He chose Bethlehem
He will choose me

He needs not hotels
Fancy and pristine
He comes to the broken
He comes to me
He comes to you
He comes to me

Dark and dreary?
Quiet, empty? 
If that is your Christmas
Its sounds like a manger to me!
