Finding God In The Music | 2023: Seven Psalms: The Lord

Seven Psalms: The Lord

Paul Simon

I've been thinking about the great migration

Noon and night they leave the flock

And I imagine their destination

Meadow grass, jagged rock

The Lord is my engineer

The Lord is the earth I ride on

The Lord is the face in the atmosphere

The path I slip and I slide on

A crystal comet

Starlit night

Silver moon

To smooth the edge of daylight

Now turned the evening rose

Tribal voices

Old and young

Celebrations

A history of families sung

The endless river flows

The Lord is my engineer

The Lord is the earth I ride on

The Lord is the face in the atmosphere

The path I slip and I slide on

The Lord is a virgin forest

The Lord is a forest ranger

The Lord is a meal for the poorest of the poor

A welcome door to the stranger

Finding God In The Music | 2023: Monsters

August 20, 2023 • Brian Zahnd

Monsters Dave Matthews Band Broke old toy soldiers lined up one, two, three Little kid and everything I did just to save my paper queen 'Cause love won't let me go Yeah, no army's gonna save my soul 'Cause love won't let me go Nothing in the closet Nothing underneath the bed Just the monsters in your head I hear strange voices at every step I take No, you can't cross the ocean if you can't get past the break Even if fear don't put you down Won't you lean on me while I'm around Oh, no rope to hang the dead No line to save the drowning man Just the monsters in your head Nothing in the closet Nothing underneath the bed Just the monsters in your head See killer's eyes and painted faces The Devil wants your soul, but Jesus saves Traffic jam is an angry maze The Devil wants your soul, but Jesus saves Chutes and ladders, pick-up sticks Counting cars and counting bricks Driving past the ol' five-and-dime Can't get nothin' for a nickel since a long, long time I won't let you down Nothing in the closet Nothing underneath your bed Just the monsters in your head No rope to hang the dead No line to save the drowning man Just the monsters in your head Love won't let you go Love won't let you go
