 Away In A Manger

Verse 1 (Acoustic - Campfire feel)
Away in a manger, (Right hand out) no crib for a bed (Left hand out)
The little Lord Jesus (Rock a baby) laid down His sweet head (Point to head)
The stars in the sky looked down where He lay (Flick fingers in air above head)
The little Lord Jesus (Rock a baby) asleep on the hay (Tilt head to left and lay on hands like sleeping)

Chorus
Celebrate (Right fist in air), celebrate (Left fist in air), our Lord (Both pointer fingers point up)

Verse 1 (Full Band - Rock Orchestra feel)

Chorus

Verse 2 (Full Band - Rock Orchestra feel)
Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask You to stay (Point thumbs to chest)
Close by me forever and love me, I pray (Praying hands in front of chest)
Bless all the dear children in Your tender care (Point to all our friends)
And take us to Heaven to live (Hands in air waving back and forth) with You there (Both pointer fingers point up)

Double Chorus

Repeat Last 1/2 of Verse 1 (Acoustic feel)
The stars in the sky looked down where He lay (Flick fingers in air above head)
The little Lord Jesus (Rock a baby) asleep on the hay (Tilt head to left and lay on hands like sleeping)

Chorus (as Ending)

Together

Written by Ryan Carson

We can march together like the ants in our backyard (Marching)

We can march, oh, so far - together, together (Stop movement and bring hands together in cheerleader clap)

We can hop together like a bunny in the grass (Hopping)

We can hop, oh, so fast - together, together (Stop movement and bring hands together in cheerleader clap)

Chorus

Together, we can be friends forever (Grab hands with friend and swing arms)

Everything is better, is better (Thumbs up) with a friend like you, (Point to a friend) a friend like you (Point to a friend)

Forever, we can praise God together (Arms up in praise)

Everything is better, is better (Thumbs up)  with a friend like you (Point to a friend)

You-u (Point to a friend) and me (Thumbs to chest) together (Bring hands together in cheerleader clap)

Verse 2

We can swim together like a dolphin in the sea (Swimming motion)

We can swim, you and me - together, together (Stop movement and bring hands together in cheerleader clap)

We can fly together like an eagle in the sky (Flying motion)

We can fly oh, so high - together, together (Stop movement and bring hands together in cheerleader clap)

Chorus

Bridge

We can clap… together… faster! (Clapping)

Chorus

Together (Bring hands together in cheerleader clap)            

You-u (Point to a friend) and me (Thumbs to chest) together (Bring hands together in cheerleader clap)
