Long Way from the Manger

So we've grown in the knowledge of the truth

Lotta channels on TV, people talking about You

Big guns, big opinions, big ideas

"Congratulations, look at us"

There's a lot of that around here



And we've come far from our humble early days

I get this feeling we've maybe gone astray



We're a long way from the manger

From the pure, simple Divine

Long way from the innocence of the Stranger

Is this what You had in mind?



No, my heart ain't always heavy like this

There's a joy in me, I'm thankful to be His

And I can't help but wonder just the same

Is this progress that we're making

Or should we maybe be ashamed?



Not an easy question

And the answers disappear

Behind these mountains of pride

If anything we're doing

Breaks Your heart or brings You tears

Before I wander any further

Give me eyes to see it clear



We're a long way

We're a long way



We're a long way from the manger

From the pure, simple Divine

Long way from the innocence of the Stranger

Is this what You had in mind?

Is this what You had in mind?

Is this what You had in mind?
