The Manger Child
	(written by Mike Bryant)

[Intro]

[acoustic guitar strumming in G major]

[clean electric guitar arpeggio enters]

[Verse 1]

[male vocals enter]
Come and see the manger child
He's wrapped in swaddling clothes [bass and light percussion enter]
Come and see them gather 'round
The little stable by the road
Join with them in worship
Of a king that prophets told [tambourine enters]
Would come to save the world
So long ago

[Chorus]

[full band enters, driving acoustic strumming]
Come and see the manger child
Oh, come and see the child
Come and see the manger child
Come and see the child

[Verse 2]

[bass and drums continue, electric guitar fills]
Come and see the manger child
For He brings the dawn of hope
He brings with Him a gift to all
He brings the gift of love
But gaze at Him in silence
You'll see a miracle this day
See the manger child
Lying in a bed of hay

[Chorus]

[vocal harmonies on the refrain]
Come and see the manger child
Oh, please come and see the child
Come and see the manger child
Come and see the child

[Bridge]

[dynamic swell, electric guitar lead lines]
Listen to the angels sing
Oh, their songs of praise and love
'Cause this manger child was sent to us
From His Father up above
To give the world the chance to find
The road that leads them home
The manger child is Jesus
He'll lead you home

[Chorus]

[full instrumentation, high energy]
Come and see the manger child
Oh, please come and see the child
Come and see the manger child
Come and see the child

[Outro]

[drums and bass fade out]

[acoustic guitar and electric guitar arpeggio remain]
[final chord rings
