graham kendrick - thorns in the straw كلمات الأغنية

since the day the angel came
it seemed that everything 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

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

and did she see there
in the straw by his head a th-rn
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 blood-red
in the morning sky

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

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

’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

- graham kendrick
