"taking light into dark corners"
Far Away
My roots are in the blues, but blues doesn't always have to carry bad news, pace Paul Poulton: "they danced for joy." Far away, in the hay,
Far Away
In a stable, so they say
Long ago, Jesus Christ was born.
On that night, so cold and still
Shepherds came down, from the hill
When they heard, Jesus Christ was born
They had waited, long enough
Times were hard, times were rough
They danced for joy, Jesus Christ was born
Their dreams were coming true
Freedom at last they knew
All because Jesus Christ was born.
Wise men brought him
Gold myrrh and frankincense
He knows we have
No rich inheritance
But like the shepherds
We have our own presents
To bring to the King
And here in your heart
Let Christmas really start
Here and now
Let Jesus Christ be born
