[Verse 1]
What kind of king would leave His throne
In Heaven to make this earth His home?
While men seek fame and great renown
In lowliness our King comes down

[Chorus]
Jesus, Jesus, precious one
How we thank You that You've come
Jesus, Jesus, precious one
A manger throne for God's own son

[Verse 2]
You left the sound of angels' praise
To come for men with unkind ways
And by this Baby's helplessness
The power of nations is laid to rest

[Chorus]
Jesus, Jesus, precious one
How we thank You that You've come
Jesus, Jesus, precious one
A manger throne for God's own son

[Verse 3]
What kind of King would come so small
From glory to a humble stall?
That dirty manger is my heart too
I'll make it a royal throne for You
[Chorus]
Jesus, Jesus, precious one
How we thank You that You've come
Jesus, Jesus, precious one
A manger throne for God's own son

[Outro]
(Jesus, Jesus, precious one)
Precious Jesus
(How we thank You that You've come)
Jesus, Jesus, precious one
A manger throne
(My heart is a throne)
My heart is a throne for God's own son
