Album: Christmas Joy
Verse 1
Looking for a Savior, a hopeless world would wait
Sin demanded justice at a price we could not pay
But God displayed His mercy, The greatest gift of love
When we could not reach Heaven, Heaven came to us
Chorus 1
He made a way in a manger, a way through the Son
Messiah, the promised before time had begun
For God so loved this world though He knew what love would cost
He made a way in a manger, to make a way to the cross
Verse 2
In Bethlehem, a stable became a throne of grace
As God himself our Savior drew near to take our place
His mother smiled in wonder as shepherds stood in awe
The Sacrifice of Heaven, sleeping in the straw
Chorus 2
He made a way in a manger, a way through the Son
Messiah, the promised before time had begun
For God so loved this world though He knew what love would cost
He made a way in a manger, to make a way to the cross
Bridge
He is the life who died our death
The precious Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head
The stars in the sky looked down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay
Chorus 3
He made a way in a manger, A way through the Son
Messiah, the promised before time had begun
For God so loved this world though He knew what love would cost
He made a way in a manger to make a way to the cross
He made a way

After recent episodes of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, viewers are obsessing over Lisa Barlow's rendition of "Away In A Manger" for Heather Gay's choir auditions. The auditions were chaotic, with wild arguments and serious tension between some of the women. However, Lisa's performance on the show was an iconic highlight for fans.
The idea behind Heather's choir was to reconnect with her spiritual side and renew her soul. Viewers watched as she put the plans into action, renting out a space for the choir to rehearse and even holding audition sessions for people to show off their talents. Of course, the RHOSLC ladies were in attendance, but one person's audition made an impression above the others.

Something RHOSLC fans noticed about Lisa's version of "Away In A Manger" was that she got some of the lyrics wrong. Even in videos since the episode, she has continued to sing the wrong words. Twitter user ActuallyEmerson highlighted this, commending Lisa's commitment to her version and the fact she hasn't acknowledged that the lyrics are incorrect.
