Lyrics
Verse 1
Since the day the angel came it seemed that ev’rything had changed, the only certain thing, was the child that moved within
On the road that would not end, winding down to Bethlehem, so far away from home
Verse 2
Just a blanket on the floor, of a vacant cattle-stall, but there the child was born, she held him in her arms
And as she laid him down to sleep
She wondered, will it always be, so bitter and so sweet
Chorus
And did she see there in the straw, by his head, a thorn
And did she smell myrrh in the air, on that starry night
And did she hear angels sing, not so far away
Till at last the sun rose bloodred, in the morning sky
Verse 3
Then the words of ancient seers, tumbled down the centuries, a virgin shall conceive
God with us, Prince of Peace
Man of Sorrows, strangest name
Oh, Joseph, there it comes again, so bitter yet so sweet
Verse 4
And as she watched him through the years her joy was mingled with her tears, and she’d feel it all again, the glory and the shame
And when the miracles began
She wondered, who is this man, and where will this all end
Verse 5
‘Til against a darkening sky, the Son she loved was lifted high, and with his dying breath
She heard him say, Father forgive, and to the criminal beside, today with Me in Paradise
So bitter yet so sweet...
