Once upon a time, long ago, you placed yourself inside a woman's womb came out white as snow.  The Creator God dressed in humanity, to demonstrate love to you and me.  And many hated you.  Your faultless life threatened their hypocrisy. 
You healed and helped everywhere you went.  They tried to stone you, they did mock you, persecute you.  But all you did was bless.  You made the rain.  You made the snow.  Your resurrection from the grave is a guarantee for me you know.  I will dwell in your house one day, after I reap what I sow. 
If the price for goodness God is hatred and death.  That's a price we'll pay. 
Here and now as we suffer.  We await the day.  When sin and sickness and sadness all go away.  Until then we shout to the sky.  We'll be with you in the sweet bye and bye.  Until then we shout to the sky.  We'll be with you in the sweet bye and bye. 
You healed and helped.  Everywhere you went.  They tried to stone you, they did mock you.  Hung you on a cross.  But all you did was bless.

Your guitar lead work is excellent Stephen! The picking/rhythm in the back ground is sparkling. Your vocal is real good here...now and then I'm hearing hints of Neil Young but it's all you. Well done!

Beautiful!

Great vocals here and the guitars are stellar.  Both has that "on the edge' feeling. Really suits the song

Well done

Wow Stephen, this is one of the best songs I've heard from you ( and I've heard a lot of great songs by you)
The guitar sound and the playing is brilliant. You seem to get better all the time. You're a bit of a chameloeon with your vocals too, never know what to expect.
I like the lyrics, obviously has a religious and spiritual connection to them. but tells a great story.

A revisit. Turns out i didn't comment on this earlier. The song is wwell done and shows your variety as a songwriter and a performer. The higher sung and fragile vocals fit the subject matter perfectly.

Your lead playing is focusing more on melody this time and the song is all the better for it.

Beautiful song Stephen.  The production is superb - maybe one of your best.  Tasteful guitar playing throughout.
