From The Manger To The Cross

FROM THE MANGER TO THE CROSS

IN A MANGER —

IN A STABLE —

MIDST THE DONKEYS AND THE SHEEP

AT THE INN —

IN BETHLEHEM —

THERE WE SEE THE BABY SLEEP. 

ON THE HILLSIDE —

IN THE DARKNESS —

SHEPHERDS HEARD THE ANGELS SING

PRAISE TO GOD —

CHRIST IS COME --

GLORY TO THE NEWBORN KING.

TIME GOES BY —

MARY'S BABY —

GROWS FROM BOYHOOD INTO MAN,

AT THE JORDAN —

DOVE DESCENDING —

VERIFIED THE FATHER'S PLAN. 

PREACHING, TEACHING —

HELPING, HEALING —

DOING NOW THE FATHER'S WILL,

AMONG THE LEADERS —

TROUBLE BREWING —

ON THE WAY TO CALVARY'S HILL. 

IN THE GARDEN —

KNEELING DOWN —

"FATHER LET THY WILL BE DONE",

SOLDIERS COMING —

NOW ARRESTED —

SCARED DISCIPLES ON THE RUN. 

ACCUSATIONS —

HURRIED TRIALS —

ENCOURAGED BY THE ANGRY MOB,

NAILS IN PLACE —

HAMMERS POUNDING —

ROMAN SOLDIERS DO THEIR JOB. 

HANGING, HURTING —

AGONIZING —

THE SON OF GOD WAS CRUCIFIED,

FOR THE WORLD —

FOR MY SINS —

WILLINGLY, HE BLED - AND DIED. 

FAITHFUL SCATTERED —

HOPES ALL SHATTERED --

EACH ONE NOW GOES ON HIS WAY,

SEAL THE TOMB —

POST THE GUARD —

AND SO ENDS THIS TRAGIC DAY. 

THREE DAYS PASS —

PEOPLE MOURNING —

MAKING THEIR WAY TOWARD THE TOMB,

DARKNESS GONE —

THE SON HAS RISEN —

NOTHING THERE BUT AN EMPTY ROOM. 

PRICE ALL PAID —

PARDON GRANTED —

NEVER DID HE COUNT THE COST,

WHAT A SAVIOR —

WHAT A JOURNEY —

ON THE PATHWAY FROM THE MANGER TO THE CROSS.
