| The Innocence Mission – Happy Birthday Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
This is a song about Jesus: When you wake up sun will shine / it will be the beginning of the world - When Jesus grew up, He rose from the dead ("woke up"), which denoted new life for Christians and showed that He is God and was around since the beginning of time We will not go under any cloud / Let balloons go up in town, ring out every bell. - People all over the world come out to rejoice because Jesus "woke up" from the dead The third stanza points to Jesus the most: Oh, undeserved sweetness and light, stay by my side - The singer urges Jesus, whose love she doesn't deserve, to stay with her all through life We will go out in the morning now, a crown of maple leaves, a crown of flowers circling your sweet head. - Instead of the crown of thorns that surrounded His head during death, He now has a crown of flowers and leaves to show His new life Happy birthday, beautiful - People celebrate His birthday on Christmas and the beautiful new life He gives them on Easter I love the reverent, awe-struck tone through the whole song :) It's fits beautifully for any birthday, but interpreting it as Jesus' makes the whole thing connect in a cool way! |
