Christian (a song with no beginning or end)

This is the last word I write to you,

of a friend of a friend & a "trend" built for two.

We've charmed off the socks of the rats & priest' men

til even the priestess admits she's in sin



so she's burning the blinds for the daylight & warmth,

cause she's tired of the night & all the blackness inside..

so she wants to be real & illuminated finely with

ten thousand angels all singing her rhymes



“and the joy will undo all the crimes

and the love will reverse these dead & dark times

and the magic's not magic, it's the miracle's eyes

when we're praying to see the first time...

God is..."



This is the last word I write down to you,

A three worded testament cause one wouldn't do.

Like Jesus & prophets & many before you..

Refrain will keep singing “God loves you!”



So he's burning inside with the light for new daylight

cause he's tired or he wants to be from listening to all the prayers

of many that would call him to help or just to meet them

& believe & to hope & to love for the first time



then the joy will undo all the crimes

then the love will reverse these dead & dark times

then the magic's not magic, it's the miracle's eyes

when we pray & we see for the first time



“God is... love!”

“God is... love!”

So fly on the wings of the dove to floating smiles..



*** And now to explain***



This is really just a little song I wrote spontaneously.. I just picked up my guitar.. and really the melody is almost stolen from Nataly Dawn's "dying to live"... but I like these lyrics that came out.. It's basically about the desire to see people come to know God.. at first... then it moves from that into remembering what it was like when you personally first began praying and asking questions and seeking God and wanting to know what he was REALLY like.. then it moves out to sharing that with others and what it's like to even begin to try to put God's love into words and how utterly & totally futile of an effort that really can be (because the love & peace of God really is inexpressible in human terms) .. and how we need to explain that any of our own words are only a shadow of what Christ' love is really like.. :D

P.S. & yes.. it is appropriately titled "Christian" as it is about Christianity & the whole process & experience of it... but is also very relative to my friend, Christian S.



Here's praying that you can be a part of several coming to know this whole experience in spirit & in truth...

the "..." means the trip is not an ending.. it is not even an event.. it is just a precursor of faith that leads to another movement of faith.. and then another step of faith.. there is no ending. It has only begun!
