Nazareth Lyrics

Deep in the heart of Nazareth

A nowhere town of lowliness

The light of life, the light of them

Deep in the heart of Nazareth

I never would have chosen this

The hand of God is hiddenness

Your mother held and witnessed it

The light still bends when we say yes

The light still bends, the light still bends

Light my heart so I won't say less

Light my heart, light my heart

I've tried to pray, but it's been hard

Found some words, but I lost my heart

Can you hear me from where you are?

Or is Nazareth just way too far?

Why don't the bombs obey you like the storms of Galilee do?

The light still bends when we say yes

The light still bends, the light still bends

Light my heart so I won't say less

Light my heart, light my heart

Quiet my heart with the rhythms of your breath

Quiet my restlessness

The light still bends when we say yes

Light my heart, light my heart

I cannot face the mystery

I cannot change the history

But I name the love behind everything

When I praise the One from Nazareth

My God, my heart is Nazareth

Come seek me in the lies I've lived

Be true, be kind, be still, be with me

In the heart of Nazareth

Deep in the heart of Nazareth

Deep in the heart of Nazareth
