Bruce Springsteen - Jesus Was An Only Son Lyrics






Jesus was an only son
As he walked up Calvary Hill
His mother Mary walking beside him
In the path where his blood spilled
Jesus was an only son
In the hills of Nazareth
As he lay reading the Psalms of David
At his mother's feet

A mother prays, "Sleep tight, my child, sleep well
For I'll be at your side
That no shadow, no darkness, no tolling bell,
Shall pierce your dreams this night"

In the garden at Gethsemane
He prayed for the life he'd never live,
He beseeched his Heavenly Father to remove
The cup of death from his lips

Now there's a loss that can never be replaced,
A destination that can never be reached
A light you'll never find in another's face,
A sea whose distance cannot be breached

Well Jesus kissed his mother's hands
Whispered, "Mother, still your tears,
For remember the soul of the universe
Willed a world and it appeared

    Actually Jesus had siblings google it

    F.... P....

    @Arrys Ortanez Sorry so many people argue with me about my flag, religion, where I live and many other things. The trolls in the comment section are turning me into someone that's defensive of everything. I'm sorry for the way I come off to people sometimes.

    F.... P....

    @Rob Isaac's it's fine tbh, I support you all the way......#MAGA2020

    F.... P....

    Actually, I'm surprised by the commentary and response to the title. On You Tube for everyone to see, Bruce sings the identical song AND says a few words briefly characterizing each line written. His point is clearly the artistic one that although Jesus had siblings, this song is about a specific time and place -- his road alone with a cross on his back to Calvary. Doubt it? It's a fact. Check it out.

    F.... P....

    Bruce explains that this song is about the plight of a man headed alone up Calvary, not about a man's siblings on earth. Doubt it? Just find his full introduction to this song on You Tube.

    F.... P....

    Of course he had siblings...but the song is speaking of something bigger..a special bond of mother and her little boy .and Mary's. Faith to trust God with her son ...furthermore Springsteen said in another video absolutely he had siblings..this is specific in time line with mary and her boy ..her only son at that time

  23. J.... M....
