Oh mary joseph rest your eyes
Try not to think of the ending
World full of empty he will die
But tonight he is still just a child
The silent night drifts all away
And the angels are dancing around you
There's the joy of knowing
He'll save the world
Overshadowing the pain that
He'll go through
Have you cursed at the wind
Have you cried to the heavens
Have you fought with this mercy
You don't understand
When the wise men kneel down
To kiss the hand of this king
They found in bethlehem town
Will you hold back the years a while
Will you dream that
This man could always be a child
And never carry all the weight
Of the dirt and the distance
And the company we keep
Have you cursed at the wind
Have you cried to the heavens
Have you fought with
This mercy you don't understand
When the wise men kneel down
To kiss the hand of this king
They found in bethlehem town
And did the stars shine
Much brighter that night
You gave birth to the death
That would bring us to life
And did the mystery keep you awake
Was the sound of his
Little heart too much to take
Oh i don't understand
When the wise men kneel down
To kiss the hand of this king they found
Have you cursed at the wind
Have you cried to the heavens
Have you fought with this mercy
You don't understand
When the wise men kneel down
To kiss the hand of this king
They found in bethlehem town
In bethlehem town
Bethlehem
In bethlehem town
Bethlehem Town - Jars Of Clay
Bethlehem
