Based on the “When In The Soul Of The Serene Disciple” by Thomas Merton, Between Noon and Three by Robert Farrar Capon, and the Sermon on the Mount
lyrics
Blessed is the forest that ushers in the Autumn
Blessed is the earth that lets the river wash it away
Blessed are the children that never dream of kingdoms
And blessed is the man who never got his way
It was a lucky sea that took me in its tide
It was a lucky wind that blew away my halo and you will find
No more words and no more methods left here to admire
See, you cannot be raised if you’re alive
Blessed are the hungry, the poor, the broken hearted
Blessed are the widows in black to say goodbye
Blessed is the failure out of second chances
We long for the resurrection, but we don’t want to die
You cannot be raised if you’re alive
We long for resurrection, but we don’t want to die
A friend of mine who also likes to explore the theological in his music. What you see is what you get with this guy, and somehow who he is is even better than his music suggests. Sleepy Knee
