illegitimate birth for another teenage mother

procedures for reversal had yet to be discovered

a little refugee girl names God the father

no psychiatric wards to keep her undercover



(chorus)

can you see the almighty falling down

inside a peasant woman born on the ground

our only salvation, God became a man

neither one will ever look the same to me again



the scum of a dusty land flock to this crownless one

few power brokers or fortunate sons

no institution founded, no raised up royal city

invisible kingdom built of mercy, faith, and purity



(chorus)



ignored and rejected by his people and his nation

they fight now to avoid becoming what they hated

and ones who claim his name now war against each other

the words they use are his, but the spirit is anothers
