X-mas Spirit Catcher - Sufjan Stevens

The angel came and said its name

But she could not keep from trembling

The spirit went where it went

Though it could not cede forgiveness

And when it came to pass again

Enterprising in its legend

The government did all it could

To be sure its power was given

To see yourself

What have you done with yourself?

Have you missed it?

To be of life, in living it

Love in fullness, life worth living

To understand the Son of Man

For the vision is the ending

In Israel, of sacrifice

Indignation is the mending

Blessed is the woman

For to be called fullness

Blessed is the woman

For to be called fullness

And Gabriel, in spite of it

Went for wandering in the desert

The Holy One is born of it

Mary and her cousin ever

Blessed is the woman

For to be called fullness

Blessed is the woman

For to be called fullness
