about

My dear friend Matt King wrote an excellent Christmas article on his blog that inspired this song and also provided the best line in the song. You can read the article using this address: mattkinger.tumblr.com/post/13911887531/christmas-thoughts-the-promise-and-the-child#notes

lyrics

IT WON’T ALWAYS BE THIS WAY

There’s a girl in the garden
And the fruit is in her hand
A snake is making her a bargain
Right beside her silent man
That first bite looked appetizing
I guess the second did as well
But that next moment, how surprising
Oh, the aftertaste was hell

Oh, what will He do,
Oh, what will He say?
When He catches you
Will it always, will it always be this way?

So the world just started breaking
She asked her man to look away
And she felt somehow forsaken
Her heart filled up with fear and shame
Guess we’ll have to cover up now
Drop the fruit and grab some leave
We’ve got to hide from Him somehow
‘Cause I can’t bear for Him to see

Oh, what have you done?
Oh, don’t run away,
I will send Someone,
It wont always, it won’t always be this way

There’s a man in the garden
The blood from His pores
Then angry men are laughing, kicking
They’re gonna make Him bleed some more
Now see Him hanging there forsaken
The sky is black, although it’s day
He’s saying, “Father, please forgive them
Don’t let it always be this way”
