The Greatest Gift

Praise the mountain and the rain All the gifts that still remain But the greatest gift of all And the law above all laws Is to love your friends and lovers To lay down your life for your brothers As you abide in peace So will your delight increase As the mystery of the cross Is the love joy lost, I toss In the fountain in the rain But my sorrow still remains So I run to my friends and lovers I lay down my life for my brothers As I abide in peace So will my delight increase --- The Greatest Gift - Sufjan Stevens
