Unfortunately, I was unable to find any information or lyrics to a song titled "Away in a Manger" by Cody Johnson. It is possible that this song might be a lesser-known or original composition by Cody Johnson. My response is not specific to Cody Johnson's song, but instead provides the explanation of the traditional Christmas carol "Away in a Manger." The Christmas carol "Away in a Manger" is a popular traditional hymn that is commonly sung during the holiday season. It tells the story of the birth of Jesus Christ and portrays the scene in the stable where he was laid in a manger (an animal feeding trough) because there was no crib available. The song emphasizes the humble and gentle nature of the baby Jesus, as well as the adoration and love of those who were present. In the first verse, it narrates how Jesus was born without a crib, so he was laid down on the hay in the manger. It also mentions how the stars in the sky witnessed this beautiful scene. The second verse portrays a peaceful setting, where the cattle are lowing (making gentle sounds) and the baby Jesus wakes up without crying. The singer expresses their love for Jesus and asks him to look down from the sky and stay by their cradle until morning comes. Overall, "Away in a Manger" presents a serene and tender depiction of the birth of Jesus Christ, highlighting the innocence and divinity of the baby Jesus. It is a beloved Christmas carol that serves as a reminder of the true meaning and significance of the holiday season.
