Then We Are Free

"This Biting Wind" - Meadowlarks (There Is A Forest... - 2009)

The lights go up along the old green pine
I see him hanging there by string entwined
He wonders why I waited all these years
To come around and finally meet him here

The angel sits atop so peacefully
The ornament in silence beckons me
How time and time again we gather near
We take the gifts but find no presence here

I will run, to the tree
I will give, give all of me
And I will never be the same
White as snow, just as we came

On this day I still can’t understand
Why He would leave the throne at His right hand
On this day of joy I feel the guilt
The Son of man whose righteous blood was spilt

I will run, to the tree
I will give, give all of me
And I will never be the same
White as snow, just as we came

Unto us a holy child is born
Just to die below a crown of thorns

The lamb of God
The lamb of God
Be here now
Be here now
The lamb of God
The lamb of God
Hangs here now
Hangs here now
