Lyrics
From mother to swaddle cloth
Wrapped around child, soft
A strange beginning
For one who is King
Shepherds from far fields
Give praise as they kneel
In honor of what will come
Praising God for His Holy One
You're the long-awaited child
The long-awaited child
You come to Your people but they reject You
Must be some other prophecies I don't see
Try to lay a foundation all on their own
While they lack the cornerstone
Grow from child to man
You stretch out your hands
To reveal the mystery
The fulfillment of history
Law and the prophets
Hand out the true profits
You bore the price to pay
Then showed You're one and only Way
And Your people hear and see
What's it take for them to believe?
The vineyard was placed in your hands
Yet you stole it from Me
Called it your own
Then sent away those who I sent from My home
Your time no longer can last
How did you soon forget your past?

Notes
- By myself, I am not any more righteous than God's chosen people. The purpose of this song is not to berate any of God's chosen people, rather, reflect on things that I've read (around the time of writing this song,) in the Gospels.
