Long From The Manger

Wayne Watson


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 

CHORUS: 
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 
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 going breaks You heart or brings You tears 
Before I wander any further, give me eyes to see it clear 

CHORUS
