lyrics

Away in a manger, or so some have said,
The one they call Jesus lay down his sweet head.
The star in the night sky, an ominous sign
The world will be different with Jesus alive

The battles are growing, the people await
a change in their fortune; a change in their fate:
“I love thee, Lord Jesus! Come heal me and bind
the enemy Romans, the priests, and their kind!”

Hear me now Jesus, I’m trying to stay
away from the hypocrite Christians today
They’re burning the world down in your tender name.
I’m not sure you had this in mind when you came.
