Barnabas Breathless Wonderment Lyrics

Breathless Wonderment Lyrics

Hidden from the mystics whose writings had foretold 

 With shattering simplicity, the mystery unfolds 

 A small bouquet of cells becomes a living child 

 Fathered by the great I AM, a mother; gentle, mild

 

 Nurtured in the shadow of the iron Roman fist 

 Shunning the dementia no human can resist 

 Reports of earthly wonders stir the troubled universe 

 The second Adam suffers to restore the fallen first

 

 Hosanna Hosanna 

 Breathless wonderment 

 The perfect sacrament

 

 From the dreadful crags of Zion, and the lowly Bethlehem 

 The mighty heart of God is pierced as nail pierces hand 

 The Spirit broods in silence as He did when time was young 

 The Father turns away from His beloved, tortured Son

 

 Stumbling, with my face toward the twisting, sobbing sky 

 The dream is reality, through tear-streaked spirit eyes 

 The wickedness I cherish bruised the One I claim to serve 

 The horrendous crucifixion, I most richly deserved
