Passed Over
(专辑: Foggy Highway - 2005)
Today is a
very fine day, a
very happy day in every way Today is a
very fine day-put your hands together and pray The
angel came mighty close, in the
middle of the
night he came so close The
angel came mighty close and then he carried on his way He passed over, passed over, passed over We slew the
lamb and smeared his blood, killed the
little lamb to stay the
hand of God We slaughtered the
lamb and caught his blood and daubed it on the
door We heard the
beating of the
wings, heard the
busy beating of the
terrible wings We heard the
beating of the
wings and then we heard nothing at all He passed over, passed over, passed over The
first born child was burning up, in the
middle of the
night he called for a
cup The
first born child was burning up, begging for his mama to come Mama mopped his burning brow, mama dear came with a
cool, cool towel Mama mopped his burning brow and stayed watching over him Passed over, passed over, passed over The
first born son came down the
stairs, mama dear kissed his curly brown hair The
first born child came down the
stairs, hungry as a
grizzly bear Today is a
very fine day, a
very happy day in every way Today is a
very fine day, the
angel carried on his way He passed over, passed over, passed over
