"He Cleaned This Mess With Love"
(A Messy Place for a Savior)
Tuesday, December 18, 2007

VERSE #1
Born in a stable,
Sheep share your room.
An unworthy place,
For a kingÂ?s bedroom
Sheep huddle for warmth,
Donkeys cry for straw.
The place is so messy,
Not the scene ---- we would draw.

CHORUS
It's messy in the stable
It's messy in my heart
It's messy from my sin
It was messy from the start
God sent me His Son
A gift from above
From the manger to the cross
He cleaned this mess ---- with love

VERSE #2
My world's full of sin,
As God's Son enters in.
Messy life for your room,
A future glimpse of a tomb.
I've made a mess of my world
Into my mess you've been hurled
To save me from my part,
Oh please come ---- into my heart.

VERSE #3
Hay for your mattress
A manger for your bed
Rags for your clothes
On Mary's breast you are fed
No royalty for parents
Shepherds to tell the story
No grand entrance for the king,
What a mess ---- for your glo --- ry.
