Things Aren't Always As They Seem Lyrics - Singles - Ron Block

Mary was engaged to wed 

A baby inside barred the way 

Joseph was to make her leave 

But things aren't always as they seem 

A baby in a manger lay 

Helpless and poor to their eyes 

The Word, the King in flesh has come 

As a man He comes disguised 

Things aren't always as they seem 

They saw with their eyes but looked behind the dream 

A woman taken in her sin 

Caught by a mob with their stones 

The Lord dismissed them with a word 

'Cause things aren't always as they seem 

A convict nailed to bleeding wood 

Losing the will to breathe 

Mocked by those He loved so well 

He died alone in great defeat 

Things aren't always as they seem 

He saw with His eyes but looked behind the dream 

Look behind the dream, see beyond the lie 

The Son of God came down to give us His eternal life 

Love will meet you there read between the lines 

A love that lives beyond this veil of time 

Things aren't always as they seem 

We see with our eyes but look behind the dream
