Laying Down The Lord.mp3<\/a><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

LYRICS
\nI find it hard to be
\nBelieve
\nBe leave
\nBelieve
\nThree kings would come to see
\nThe birth of me
\nOnce more… bearing “Gold, Frankincense, and Myrrh”<\/p>\n

Poor ole Pa didn’t get to poke Ma
\nDidn’t even get to poke Ma
\nPoor ole Pa<\/p>\n

Not like I could invent “The Rule”
\nI’m just a fool
\nIf you treat others like they treat you
\nWe’ll get through
\nSee the heavenly view?<\/p>\n

It’s why I find it hard to be
\nBelieve
\nTo Believe
\nBelieve!
\nThree kings would come to see the birth of the likes of me
\nOf the likes of me<\/p>\n

The first time ya feel all alone
\nWhen they drive the nail through the flesh and bone
\nDrives the point home
\nThey drive the point home<\/p>\n

I… I… I’d been crucified
\nI’d been crucified
\nAt first I thought I’d died
\nTurns out… I reside
\nI reside
\nIn the house of the holy Lord
\nIn the house of the holy Mother
\nThe holy ghost
\nHope to die<\/p>\n

I had to try
\nI couldn’t give up and die
\nHad to try<\/p>\n

Yet, still
\nThe freewill
\nOf the three kings
\nI just couldn’t believe
\nThree kings would come to see the birth of the likes of me
\nAmazing
\nThree kings<\/p>\n

I can’t tell a lie
\nThat’s why
\nI try
\nTry, try, try
\nTo do unto others
\nAs I’d have ’em do to I<\/p>\n

I try to keep in eye
\nAs I’d have ’em do to I<\/p>\n
