lyrics

[Simeon]
What did you make of the gifts that they brought
As she washed off the musk of the cows?
Now you smell of the tomb when they wrap you in cloth
In the temple where men make their vows
Revelation, consolation to me
Revelation, consolation to me

Wondering, waiting these last lonely days
For a sign of the life up ahead
He kept me alive through delight and malaise
Now you live, in my arms, in my stead
Revelation, consolation to me
Revelation, consolation to me

[Anna]
Creation groaned in my knees and my back
As I fasted and prayed every day
Now I forget the husband and child that I lack
As you cry in my arms and I sway
You're the answer to each of my prayers
You're the answer to each of my prayers

Bodies of doves are now broken for you
As your mother's was one month ago
They pass you to me and the Spirit is true
And your father's in tears as you go
You're the answer to each of my prayers
You're the answer to each of my prayers

[Simeon]
What did you make of the gifts that they brought
As she washed off the musk of the cows?
