I said "God I do not understand this world" Everything is dying and broken Why do I see nothing but suffering God I'm asking could this be your plan? Sin has taken hold of this whole land Will You not say anything else to me? He said "where were you the day that I measured" Sunk the banks and stretched the line over All the earth and carved out its corner stone? Where were you the day that I spoke and Told the sun to split the night open Calmed the morning dawn with its light to show Who shut in the ocean with stone doors Marked the reach of tides on those new shores Hung the day the waves rose and first broke forth Have you seen the springs of that great sea Walked the caverns carved in the black deep Through the gates of darkness there on its floor Have you seen the armoury I hold Snow and haild are stacked up in silos For the times of trouble and war and strife Can you raise your voice to the storm cloud Would the thunder answer and ring out Does the lightning ask you where it should strike Who has cleft the channels for torrents Rain to sprout the desert with forest In the wilderness that my hand has built Can you hunt the prey for your lions Can you use the chords of Orion Is this whole world bening beneath your will? I spoke of things I did not understand Things too wonderful for me Although I had no right to ask My God knelt and answered me

It's Christmas day And the snow is comin' down Church bells sway They're ringin' to wake the town Preacher Kline recites his lines The pews will be full today Mr. Howell cranks up his plow His blades'll clear the way It's Christmas day And the pecan pies are bakin' Mothers say "It's the givin', not the takin'" My brother's brand new bicycle Is out janglin' in the street I watch him through the icicles With this wood box beneath my feet All I got is this little wood guitar What it brought is neon lights in crowded bars Like all the kings with all their gold Went chasin' down Your star, I'm told Every highway takes me where You are With this little wood guitar It's Christmas day Funny how the years can shape us Much has changed I'm a musician, I'm a waitress Chicago's a winter wonderland And my brother's and his wife's Passin' 'round their dinner plates And dissectin' my life All I got is this little wood guitar What it brought is neon lights in crowded bars Like all the kings with all their gold Went chasin' down Your star, I'm told Every highway takes me where You are With this little wood guitar I never stopped believin' I just kept on singin' Now people come to hear From miles around And I don't mind confessin' But I still count my blessin's I just never thought I'd settle down It's Christmas day And little ones are wakin' I hear them play I can hear the presents shakin' A boy's outside on his new bike Janglin' in the street A little girl, she's watchin' him With that wood box beneath her feet All she got is this little wood guitar What I thought is it might take her pretty far Like all the kings with all their gold Went chasin' down Your star, I'm told Every highway takes me where You are With this little wood guitar, little wood guitar
