1. we thought you'd come
with a crown of gold
a string of pearls
and a cashmere robe
we thought you'd clinch
an iron fist
and rain like fire
on the politics
CHORUS:
but without a sword
no armored guard
but commom born
in mother's arms
the government
now rests upon
the shoulders of
this baby son
2. have you no room
inside your heart
the inn is full
the out is dark
upon profane
shines sacred sun
not ashamed
to be one of us
POST-CHORUS:
gloria
allelu
Christ the Lord
we've longed for you
with a crown of gold
a string of pearls
and a cashmere robe
we thought you'd clinch
an iron fist
and rain like fire
on the politics
CHORUS:
but without a sword
no armored guard
but commom born
in mother's arms
the government
now rests upon
the shoulders of
this baby son
2. have you no room
inside your heart
the inn is full
the out is dark
upon profane
shines sacred sun
not ashamed
to be one of us
POST-CHORUS:
gloria
allelu
Christ the Lord
we've longed for you
