Oil & Wine

Pour on oil and wine
Treat the wounds of every hurting person you find
Please do not hide
Might sound like comfort, but there’s no kind of life on that side
It’s not enough if it isn’t love for even people you’d never think of
Pour salt into your blind eye
Feel the pain of every one that you’d seek to deny
Personhood to, it isn’t gospel if it’s only for people like you
It’s not enough if it isn’t love for even people you’d never think of
All your heart and soul
All your mind and strength
Every single one
You meet along your way
This is life

This winter feels bleak
So much snow that my branches might break underneath
It’s relief that I need
Only found in the sacred words you speak
Talitha Cumi
Don’t fear just believe
I alone am the son over everything
It’s not what it seems
This child is not dead she’s asleep
Talitha Cumi
And it’s not your fate to sleep
For you too must rise with me
when everything’s complete
Talitha Cumi

If faith is a thing you must accomplish
Who stands any chance to get it right
If faith is a thing in need of action
I hope that my friends are by my side
Please carry me through because I lack the strength to leave this bed
If grace is a bridge you build by working
Who’s deeds could be laid across the gap
If grace is a thing of your just choosing
I hope that my friends will plead and ask
Please carry me through because I lack the strength to leave this bed
Please lower me down through the roof, it’s the only chance I have
Look on their faith, forgive my sin, though I’ve done nothing

Sabbath Work
03:40

This man before you
What did he do
To earn his blindness
In the womb
Had his parents’
Sin just grew
To the point of
Seeping through
It’s nobody’s fault, it just had to happen
It wasn’t his sin or his parents’
The darkness is coming and it’s time for working
The light on display his only purpose
You’re spitting in dirt, you’re breaking your sabbath
Like a mom with her kid, in the early morning
Before the sun has risen and he should be in bed
But instead they’ll just play because she’s working today
And she wants to make the most of it as long as she can stay
So as long as you’re here with your light on display
Since you’re going away, this is time to celebrate

Mountain, Preserve
02:37

You said we’d move mountains
Well there’s one right there
And I’m dying to see something
Couldn’t be that my visions impaired
If you knew me, you would love me, not just the things that I do
In your zeal to move this mountain, you forgot I planted it
What if the pain you feel
Is something I intend
What if this obstacle
Would guide you to my ends
If you knew me, you would love me, not just the things that I do
In your zeal to move this mountain, you forgot I planted it
And I called it good
And that means it’s good
And I called it good
And that made it good
And I called it good
And I made you

Forever, How Long
02:04

How much must I forgive brothers bludgeoning me with sin time and time again
Seven times seventy -times
How long must we wait to see all things put under your feet, offering our cheeks
Seven time seventy-times
If we knew how much you forgave
We wouldn’t ask them to repay
Your patience each time we betray
Please grant us patience while we wait
I will practice mercy for you have mercy on me
