Love Wins
05:47
|

|
All that I know for sure
In the end love will save us all
The ebb and flow, the reasoned words
The constant search, will bow to love…
I know my heart, it bends with breeze
How much more so the thoughts that drive us all?
No matter how we see the world
The Author owns the fate of these
It is our wont to box things, itemise
We demand that God succumbs to this
But, oh, the danger of absolutes
There is neither slave nor free
All will bow before the Lord!

Monopoly of Truth
02:29
|
|||
|
How many times have we told you to fear the Truth?
To reach inside lest your wages overcome you?
The night – it waits as it hides
What can we say of the way that we see the light?
We reach inside and know in our hearts we’re right
“The right to live in the Light is mine!”
We’ve got the means, got the resources, got the Life
We’ve got it all figured out – none to decide
Another way cannot be done!
These are the days of the battle inside
A hundred days longer than a month of Sundays
Lord, help me please wage the battle inside
What’s on the line is the thought of losing You
Into the light, into my mind
I break through the edge, consider a life
Have I put the Creator into a box?
But now I’m haunted by the words that the author said:
“I’m just a beggar leading beggars along to the bread”
The Truth’s not mine to own!

What do you think?
How do you read it? How do you know it?
Is it luck? Being born in the right place?
Having a pastor that’s better at this?
[Salvation?]
Which Christ is this?
The missionary gets a flat tire?
Is it what you say? Who you are? What you do?
Who’s your wife? What you ask? What they ask you?
And who gets to decide?
[Heaven?]
Where is there?
What will it be like? Will there be dogs there?
Does anybody look good in a white robe?
Is our eschatology it?
[Hell?]
Do I believe in a literal Hell?
Or a man in tights playing Pink Floyd backwards?
Do we really need a serious word – one loaded with violence and hate
And all the horror we abide?
[God?]
How big is God?
Is He ‘sort of’ great? Does God get what God wants?
Is history tragic? Are we safe?
Are we all on our own?
[Me?]
And what of me?
Am I asking enough questions?
If I test what I know, what I love,
What I think, what I feel,
What I know is real –
Surely the truth in all survives!

Trepidation
04:45
|
|||
|
With sudden panic I recall the dire state of others
My trepidation at the reckoning
A fear that I keep hidden underneath the surface
Under my lazy Christianity
For on the day of Sunrise, will I stand all alone?
Or can I scrape a meager offering?
I feel the pressure building – “I am responsible”
Who can I drag next, kicking, screaming?
God’s a big boy – He can handle
All unbelief, all our scandal
When all we know passes away
He will gather all, will gather all
I am blocked by people moving on, by all the changing weather
By that the regular is comforting
How can I plead the choices – to activate the hole
To always pray to gather kindling?
Does God not see panic? Surely I am not alone –
There must be others out there struggling!
I feel the pressure mounting – who is responsible?!
The halls of men could soon be emptying…
Wait for a world that cannot be
The plan to separate all things
Is it what we did?
Is all-love hindered?
I must trust that in the end I’ll see
But – am I free?

2999
02:22
|
|||
|
Tonight we’re gonna party like its 2999!
We know that in all things we are watching time
Asking questions of what it takes to love
We like the thought of wings, but we don’t dare to fly…
Now, when I come to think of my own design
Of the rules I cage around my heart
No wonder that I feel something is not right…
Hurt! Steel!
If I’m to change these things – live the life that I
Was made for – to really feel the love
On the eve to end all eves, Love Wins tonight!
Thirst! Real!

Here is the New There
02:50
|
|||
|
What is your eschatology?
In the end you’ll always aim for where you put your eye
What is it that you are waiting for?
Is death a golden ticket or a punchcard calling time?
Choose: are you here or there?
What will you do with brevity –
Will you help to heal the land or wait for it to die?
You are a part of destiny
There is a job to do – you must take your place in time
Choose: is it here or there?

The Revelation
03:29
|
|||
|
Breathe: can you feel the changing? The heart on the wind?
Run with me to the rising sun! Just let it begin
You must believe in the magic – cast your doubt from your skin
For only when the Truth arises will you know truth again
The light grows around you, the sun it rises, the reset begins
Come with me, a new day is dawning; the absence rescind
“I am free from the darkness – it can’t hold me within,
I am free of the ‘dogma’,” – that’s my revelation!
