In Eyes Of God 05:31
lyrics
buy track
Prologue (spoken over organ playing The Lord Is My Shepherd) We are gathered here today to celebrate the life of the deceased, whom, in sacred collaboration, embarked upon, and successfully completed, perfected, the most excellent of adventures. While we, the assembled players and extras, may not be privy to inner objectives, indeed those may only be fully understood by the two of them, let us nevertheless be confident that all along the way the planning, arrangement, coincidences, chance meetings, reverses, triumphs, adversaries, allies ... in fact the entire project management of life was handled enthusiastically by God him/herself personally. Verse 1 And yet to the eyes of some John was an ordinary man Lived very ordinary life Never cheated upon his wife He was atheist of faith Often prejudiced Counter point of view resist Verse 2 Believed God implausible Fascinated by natural Lover of music Ludwig Van Creator of cello, careful hands He was sometime hard to please Systematical Always logical Chorus Beloved of God Objective divine Beautiful life adventure lived In eyes of God Verse 3 Jess was a simple girl Lived unexceptional life Worked Dolcis shoe shop 9 to 5 Never aspire to touch the sky She was happy with her lot Gender stereo yes Yet oppressed not Chorus Instrumental Verse 4 Doug was a gardener Planted traditional English Wondered what world was coming to Born in that house across those fields Grew green fingers on his hands As they work the land Knew his vegetables Chorus Outro (spoken over organ playing Jesu Joy Of Man's Desiring) I'm suggesting everyone, believers and non-believers alike, are equally beloved of God ... special to God ... that atheistic disposition is 100 percent approved of by God, celebrated by God, as is blinkered religious dogmatism, and everything in between ... that the stay at home son is loved no more (or less) than the rebellious son, that God is actively on board in facilitating every adventure. Not a blade of grass moves without the sanction of the Lord ... for him, they are all positive varieties of divine expression, focused in unique and individual ways, sometimes grand, sometimes humble, and regardless of flavour, they are all always explorations of divinity.

Yesterday's Truth 03:31
lyrics

Chorus Yesterday's truth No longer embrace Situation - face it There's no escape from Verse 1 Used to believe Soul is fallen Divinity Compromised now Human birth born Life goal prescribed Liberation Sole objective Repeat Chorus Verse 2 Choice surrender Mentor defer Which direction Never question Authority Absolute see Divine vision No own opinion Breakdown + Spoken word Yesterday's truth ... looking back I see lies, or at least complex ideas simplified to the point of untruth. Were they white lies, necessary, even essential to progress at the time, dictated by limited understanding capacity of the audience. Maybe they were, but they set the stage for future struggle - a time when those untruths became apparent, and continued progress therefore required their rejection ... resulting in isolation from the community of followers. The realisation that everything is perfect now --- or is this conviction just tomorrow's yesterday's truth? Chorus to fade
