Miriam Lyrics

(Capo on 4. Pierce finger picks the chords, but strumming them sounds fine, too.)
No banners were unfurled
When God stepped into world
Held in the arms of a little girl named Miriam
Now, who would ever believe
The fiancee, the family
the teenage pregnancy of Miriam
But laws of nature were suspended
Death sentances recended Throughout all the world
All because of a little girl named Miriam
Mideval paintings glaring down
Stoney figures judge and frown
And wearing a halo like a crown, could that be Miriam?
In gentile temples stained glass swirls
A cherubim with golden curls
Oh how unlike the hebrew world of Miriam
I don't know if you acended
I don't care what's been amended
It was once your miracle, the faith of a little girl named Miriam
Oh, you are blessed indeed
Blessed is the fruit of your tree
Yeshewah, King of Kings, Son of Miriam
No banners were unfurled
When God stepped into the world
Held in the arms of a little girl named Miriam
(continue with chord progression and end on D)
