Song | Christmas Song |
Artist | Bruce Cockburn |
Album | Salt, Sun And Time |
Fire-bright faces in winter night | |
A dog in the distance barks | |
The sky speaks in patterns of starlight | |
The fire replies in sparks | |
The stream is a motionless moment | |
Salmon in the sea swims deep | |
Pregnant with force as a prayer is | |
Spring in the hard earth sleeps | |
Like the snow on the stark spruce limb | |
Coated with ice, then stripped by wind | |
We melt away and return again | |
Stronger for the tempering flame | |
Stronger for the Saviour's name. |
