Laying Down The Lord.mp3
A wise friend once explained to me: in Hebrew the word “Lord” means “the Law”. The Law is: do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
LYRICS
I find it hard to be
Believe
Be leave
Believe
Three kings would come to see
The birth of me
Once more… bearing “Gold, Frankincense, and Myrrh”
Poor ole Pa didn’t get to poke Ma
Didn’t even get to poke Ma
Poor ole Pa
Not like I could invent “The Rule”
I’m just a fool
If you treat others like they treat you
We’ll get through
See the heavenly view?
It’s why I find it hard to be
Believe
To Believe
Believe!
Three kings would come to see the birth of the likes of me
Of the likes of me
The first time ya feel all alone
When they drive the nail through the flesh and bone
Drives the point home
They drive the point home
I… I… I’d been crucified
I’d been crucified
At first I thought I’d died
Turns out… I reside
I reside
In the house of the holy Lord
In the house of the holy Mother
The holy ghost
Hope to die
I had to try
I couldn’t give up and die
Had to try
Yet, still
The freewill
Of the three kings
I just couldn’t believe
Three kings would come to see the birth of the likes of me
Amazing
Three kings
I can’t tell a lie
That’s why
I try
Try, try, try
To do unto others
As I’d have ’em do to I
I try to keep in eye
As I’d have ’em do to I
