Words and Music: Michael Stone, 2018

lyrics

Intro
D D/E G x4

Verse 1
D Bm persecuted in the dark
D Bm the Christmas child on earth abides
incarnated word of God carried town to town to hide
Joseph and the road again
Mary clutching child’s weak head
holy God, where were we then? immigrants in search of rest

Chorus
D D/EG God is our witness
D D/EG sitting on the darkened stair
God is our witness
dispossessed and peaceful there

Verse 2
D Bm falling into snowy ground contemplating all my sin
whispering in winter cold death is in my heart again
snow in all the hearts of men spring is far there’s no way in
a table’s set inside the house still I stand outside and doubt

Chorus
D D/EG God is our witness
sitting on the darkened stair
God is our witness
dispossessed and peaceful there

Instrumental
D D/E G x4

Verse 3
D Bm listen for the call of Christ listen for the hope of night
crawl into an earthly form
let the heartache keep you warm
feel the pain another bears let their story mend the tears
taste the fruit of love at last Christ in us is come to pass

Chorus x2

DD/EG
God is our witness
sitting on the darkened stair
God is our witness
dispossessed and peaceful there

Outro DD/EG
