The Greatest Gift Songtext
von Sufjan Stevens

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
And lay down your life for your brothers
As you abide in peace
So will your delight increase


As the mystery of the cross
Asa Lovejoy lost the toss
And the fountain in the rain
Where 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
