Lyrics for X-mas Spirit Catcher

The angel came and said its name But she could not keep from trembling The spirit went where it went Though it could not cede forgiveness And when it came to pass again Enterprising in its legend The government did all it could To be sure its power was given To see yourself What have you done with yourself? Have you missed it? To be of life, in living it Love in fullness, life worth living To understand the Son of Man For the vision is the ending In Israel, of sacrifice Indignation is the mending Blessed is the woman For to be called fullness Blessed is the woman For to be called fullness And Gabriel, in spite of it Went for wandering in the desert The Holy One is born of it Mary and her cousin ever Blessed is the woman For to be called fullness Blessed is the woman For to be called fullness
