The world holds its breath where the stars begin, Whispering hope through the cold and the wind. Verse 1 Frost on the windows, kettle hums low, Lanterns flicker on the old porch snow. Somewhere quiet, a promise begins— Love came down and Glory walked in. Chorus Heaven’s got a manger door, Wide enough for rich and poor. Candles glow and hearts begin— Where love came down and Glory walked in. Joy rings out through every hymn, Heaven’s got a manger door. Verse 2 Voices rise where the choir’s been, Old folks hummin’ “Peace within.” Children giggle by the tree’s soft glow, Heaven feels a little closer, you know. Chorus Heaven’s got a manger door, Wide enough for rich and poor. Candles glow and hearts begin— Where love came down and Glory walked in. Joy rings out through every hymn, Heaven’s got a manger door. Bridge No silver crown, no royal bed, Just straw beneath His tiny head. Still kings would travel miles to find The light that never leaves mankind. Verse 3 Now every Christmas, I feel that call, In humble hearts, there’s room for all. Through every doubt, through every sin— Love comes down and Glory walks in. Final Chorus Heaven’s got a manger door, Wide enough for rich and poor. Candles glow and hearts begin— Where love came down and Glory walked in. Joy rings out through every hymn, Heaven’s got a manger door. Outro Snow still falls where the stars begin, Love came down, and Glory walked in.
