The Manger Abenjamimnd The Cross şarkı sözleri

The road was dusty rough and long Her labour pains were getting strong Hands were full as night closed in on them Young Mary made it to a barn Leaning hard on Joseph's arm His coat and straw would make for her a bed That night in Bethlehem, city of bread Long promised bread of life was born Brightest star and darkest night Treasure and loss The Word and the Bread of Life The manger and the cross A wooden manger was His bead A bag of grain held His sweet head The borrowed cave became His borrowed home Some borrow neighbours came to see This fragile baby eternity Lying there in Mary's arms awake And did the carpenter feel the rough wood Was there in Mary's heart some pain Brightest star and darkest night Treasure and loss The Word and the Bread of Life The manger and the cross O come and place a baby's face Where all heaven and earth Dance in the light All the hopes and fears Of all the years Are met in you Tonight, tonight Tender head and rugged wood Deepest hunger holy food The breath of God comes right to where we are Oh yes, that night in Bethlehem city of bread Long promised bread of life was born Brightest glory, darkest night Treasure and loss The Word and the Holy Seed The Word and the Holy Seed The manger and the cross
