Manger Throne Phil Wickham Lyrics

Verse 1
You could have stepped into creation with fire for all to see
Brought ev’ry tribe and nation to their knees
Arriving with the host of heaven in royal robe and crown
The rulers of the earth all bowing down
But You chose meekness over majesty
Wrapped Your power in humanity

Chorus 1
Glory be to You alone
King who reigns from a manger throne
My life, my praise, everything I own
To Jesus the King on a manger throne

Verse 2
You could have marched in all Your glory into the heart of Rome
Showed them splendor like they’d never known
But You wrote a better story in humble Bethlehem
Creator in the arms of common men
You will die for our redemption and You’ll rise so we can live

Chorus 2
Glory be to You alone
King who reigns from a manger throne
My life, my praise, everything I own
To Jesus the King on a manger throne

Bridge
From heaven to the cradle, from cradle to the cross
Let heaven and nature sing, this is our King
But the grave couldn’t hold Him, our God has overcome
Let heaven and nature sing, this is our King

Bridge Tag
All hail the King (all hail the King)
All hail the King (all hail the King)
All hail the King

Chorus 3
Glory be to You alone
King who reigns from a manger throne
My life, my praise, everything I own
To Jesus the King on a manger throne

Tag
My life, my praise, ev’rything I own
To Jesus the King on a manger throne
To Jesus the King on a manger throne
