Lyrics

The closet floor seemed a lovely place to make her bed
The bathroom door formed a court where she could fill her head
A vein the sacrifice to please this angry, greedy god
Not satisfied with wine and bread this broken heart he shreds

But this one has been called and at her banquet I will dine
He has loved the least of these and her joy will be all mine

A Paradox Unveiled

Gomer slept all night, beautiful feet that won't work right
No one to intercede, just a man to spill his seed
She picked herself up, like the clothes that lay upon the floor
Her skin her shroud, her shame her crown, and these downtown she wore

Someday you'll see her standing there
A crown upon her graceful head
He taught the book of life her name,
A double portion for her present shame

Downtown few good feet will dare to follow her there
Sin is like a virus, you might catch it if you care
Folly deserves to reap indeed the seed that she does sow
But it was your indulgence birthed these children you now know

Not with tracts and flash or an advertising fleet
But with his hair the King kneeled down to wash her feet

Not to those with health and wealth
Did the great physician come

See we are the broken hearted ones
Oh unto us come, Lord Jesus come
Teach the book of life our name
A double portion for our present shame
