By Reno & Smiley,
5th Verse By Talbot

1.
The Bible tells the story, it's the Gospel message true
The life our Savior lived on earth is told
Found upon the pages of the Master's Book of Truth
Every word so precious to my soul

Chorus:
From the manger to the cross, the rugged cross of Calvary
The road that Jesus walked for you and me, all alone
By the world forsaken, still He shed His blood for me
From the manger to the cross, the rugged cross of Calvary

2.
Amidst the stranger's cattle where the birth of Jesus came
The lowly manger kept Him from the cold
And there was the beginning of the journey Jesus made
Today it is the greatest story told

3.
Many wonders were revealed while here on earth He dwelled
He healed the sick and made the blind to see
By the thousands were the numbers of the hungry He did feed
He blessed and multiplied the bread in need

4.
No earthly treasures did He own, He sought no wealth or fame
Weary was the path He had to trod
Here He suffered many things, for this world knew Him not
He died upon the cross, the Son of God

5.
He was buried in a tomb of stone, for three days He did lay
His followers were mournful in their grief
He rose that sacred morning to reign forevermore
And salvation is His gift for our belief
