We think of him as safe beneath the steeple Or cozy in a crib beside the font But he is with a million displaced people On the long road of weariness and want For even as we sing our final carol The hounded child is up and on that road Fleeing from the wrath of someone else's quarrel Glancing behind And shouldering their load And shouldering their load While Herod rages still from his dark tower Christ clings to Mary, fingers tightly curled The lambs are slaughtered by the men of power And death squads spread their curse across the world How terrible, how just and how ironic That every Herod dies and comes alone Defenseless as the naked embryonic To stand before The Lamb upon the throne The Lamb upon the throne I can't resist the burning urge for turning This song into a cautionary tale The Savior whom this song has been discerning Once occupied, the belly of a whale To reach as deep as love could ever fathom To rescue from the tentacles of hell The wretched, the beleaguered and forgotten Surprisingly Their enemies as well Their enemies as well Lyrics: Steve Bell and Malcolm Guite Album: Keening for the Dawn
