Sufjan Stevens - The Greatest Gift lyrics

[Verse 1] Praise the mountain and the rain All the gifts that still remain But the greatest gift of all And the law above all laws [Chorus 1] 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 [Verse 2] As the mystery of the cross Is the love joy lost, the toss And the fountain in the rain Where my sorrow still remains [Chorus 2] 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
