On To Bethlehem

so i'm at this wheel it's three am

waiting for the caffeine to come around

and life rears it's ugly head again

they say your radio's cool and retail's way down

and i'd like to say i'm faithful

to the task at hand

speaking gospel to a handful

and others with their list of demands

it's cold this year and i'm late on my dues

it's cold in here ah but that's nothing new

my heart's electric with your love again

so it's on to bethlehem

you might surmise that i ran there

but i really only crept

lead me to the place where love runs wild

and then it dogs your every step

you know how fickle my heart is

prone to wonder my Lord

yeah it's hot but it's at arms length

always got one eye on the door

God wraps Himself up in human skin

for those who want to touch

and God let them drive the nails in

for those of us who know way too much

You come bearing all our burdens

and take Your lovers for a ride

but we stay holed up in our cages

fashioned by our own design

so tell me what is your secret

what's on your blister soul

what is that one little secret

you know the one that has taken its toll

'cause daddy's banging on your gate again

yeah he won't leave you alone

got a whole lot of dry warm rooms

and the finest of homes
