Nazareth
by Jon Guerra

Album: Ordinary Ways

Verse 1
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

Chorus
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)

Verse 2
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?

Chorus
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)

Post-Chorus
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)

Verse 3
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

Outro
In the heart of Nazareth
Deep in the heart of Nazareth
Deep in the heart of Nazareth
