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
The light still bends, the light still bends
