about

Merry Christmas, from The Beaten Sea!

lyrics

Behold your mother
Behold your son
The word that was spoken
has finally come
Like the Son of Man
with the keys in hand
All across the land
Shout! Praise everyone

O! Little Jesus
A baby, the God!
We claim your mercy
your comfort, the rod
At your gates we stand
Sinners hand in hand
Marvel at you plan
Our purpose to laud

The wise men came riding
all three bearing gifts
Gold, bitter myrrh
and sweet frankincense
His flesh was to be shorn
In defeating Little Horn
A life of works forlorn
To claim what is His.

And now we are lonely
each step causing pain
We claim your life true
and make crimes of Your name
Show us all our sins
through your holy lens
give us hate for them
And heal us, the lame.
