Michael Card - A King In A Cattle Trough lyrics
Your rating:
How do you capture the ascents of angels? How do you put words to the taste of their light? You cannot describe how their words burn right thru you How you became dizzy with heart pounding fright In the midst of your fear, how they sang you a song To the glory of God most High How all of a sudden, that when they departed That they left a hole in the sky How do you worship a king in a cattle trough? When you cannot bow any lower than he? And what king of gift to give Someone with nothing? In humiliating humility Wrapped up in rags, what a heart-breaking sign Yet on his sweet face, what a delight The darkness that prows here cannot comprehend This impossibly bright point of light So everyone listened in awe and amazement To all we'd been told ‘bout this beautiful boy But Mary, his mother, she wordlessly wondered And pondered her treasure of joy Who could conceive how the Savior was born In a place only fit for the cattle to feed His poverty made him our perfect Provision The one hope for our every need 2010 Covenant Artists, ASCAP guitar, vocals, Michael Card bass, Keith Compton accordion, Jeff Taylor
