Thorns In The Straw

Lyrics
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 thorn And did she smell myrrh In the air on that starry night And did shе hear angels sing Not so far away Till at last the sun Rosе 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
