On gratitude for the mysteries of God, re: Lewis’s seminal novel

lyrics

Though we are both crazy,
though we are both numb,
we can hush the grumbling;
the battle has been won.

The Lord can bring us children,
build up for us a home—
a life beyond the wealthy
in the family of the Son.

If we focus on the problems,
if we center on the pain,
we’ll live like this forever;
we’ll always be insane.

Let us peak through the curtain
at the source of the light
through the lies that made us certain
we could live by faith in sight.

And I am horribly afraid,
dumbstruck and agape.
I will always be in awe of Your glory.

A sea of glass and fire
rising up in a wave;
politicians screaming,
their monoliths ablaze.

The riches of the world
bring cancer of the flesh,
but the riches of the heavens
give life by way of death.

I am terribly afraid,
horrified and amazed,
by the immeasurable things
You have made in Your glory.

We go out on a road trip
to all the stunning parks,
hear the rumbling of Old Faithful,
gaze upon the stars.

We stand atop a mountain,
cry out into the wind,
give thanks for forgiveness
and the conquering of sin.

Till we have faces,
who can comprehend
the majesty of beauty
and the jealousy within?

Has Psyche lost her senses
to the Mountain God unseen?
The truth is surely crazy
in the broken minds of men.

I am trembling in Your grace,
thunderstruck before Your face.
What is all this You have made
for Your glory?

Warbler Oakland, California

When you hear the name Warbler, think of a folk-programmed bionic song-bird perched with joyful simplicity on the fresh rubble of a musical Apocalypse. Warbler’s self-titled album, the second effort of singer/songwriter Sean Sullivan, is an enjoyably off-putting cocktail of pure organic spirit set on electric fire. ... more
