Bruce *****burn - Cry Of A Tiny Babe Lyrics
Mary grows a child without the help of a manJoseph get upset because he doesn't understandAngel comes to Joseph in a powerful dreamSays "God did this and you're part of his scheme"Joseph comes to Mary with his hat in his handSays "forgive me I thought you'd been with some other man"She says "what if I had been - but I wasn't anyway and guess whatI felt the baby kick today"Like a stone on the surface of a still riverDriving the ripples on foreverRedemption rips through the surface of timeIn the cry of a tiny babeThe child is born in the fullness of timeThree wise astrologers take note of the signsCome to pay their respects to the fragile little kingGet pretty close to wrecking everything'Cause the governing body of the whole landIs that of Herod, a paranoid manWho when he hears there's a baby born King of the JewsSends death squads to kill all male children under twoBut that same bright angel warns the parents in a dreamAnd they head out for the border and get away cleanLike a stone on the surface of a still riverDriving the ripples on foreverRedemption rips through the surface of timeIn the cry of a tiny babeThere are others who know about this miracle birthThe humblest of people catch a glimpse of their worthFor it isn't to the palace that the Christ child comesBut to shepherds and street people, hookers and bumsAnd the message is clear if you've got ears to hearThat forgiveness is given for your guilt and your fearIt's a Christmas gift you don't have to buyThere's a future shining in a baby's eyesLike a stone on the surface of a still riverDriving the ripples on foreverRedemption
