What kind of king would leave his throne
Am Em C G
In heaven to make this earth his home?

While men seek fame and great renown
Am Em C G
In loneliness our king comes down
[Chorus]
C G D C
Jesus, Jesus, precious one
G D C
How we thank you that you've come
G D C
Jesus, Jesus, precious one
Am Em D G
A manger throne for god's own son

[Verse]
G D C G
You left the sound of angels' praise
Am Em C G
To come for men with unkind ways
G D C G
And by this baby's helplessness
Am Em C G
The power of nations is laid to rest
[Chorus]
C G D C
Jesus, Jesus, precious one
G D C
How we thank you that you've come

Jesus, Jesus, precious one
Am Em D G
A manger throne for god's own son

G D C G
What kind of king would come so small
Am Em C G
From glory to a humble stall?
G D C G
That dirty manger is my heart too
Am Em C G
I'll make it a royal throne for you
[Chorus]
C G D C
Jesus, Jesus, precious one
G D C
How we thank you that you've come
G D C
Jesus, Jesus, precious one
Am Em D G
A manger throne for god's own son
