Breathless Wonderment Lyrics - Barnabas

Hidden from the mystics whose writings had foretold 

With shattering simplicity, the mystery unfolds 

A small bouquet of cells becomes a living child 

Fathered by the great I AM, a mother; gentle, mild 

Nurtured in the shadow of the iron Roman fist 

Shunning the dementia no human can resist 

Reports of earthly wonders stir the troubled universe 

The second Adam suffers to restore the fallen first 

Hosanna Hosanna 

Breathless wonderment 

The perfect sacrament 

From the dreadful crags of Zion, and the lowly Bethlehem 

The mighty heart of God is pierced as nail pierces hand 

The Spirit broods in silence as He did when time was young 

The Father turns away from His beloved, tortured Son
