Mystery . . .


You suspect that you know just who did it,
You have reason to think he'll admit it
When confronted with facts that we submit.
It's my mystery.

Can't . . .

. . . explain . . .
. . . or understand the motivation
That I possess
To create something
From nothing
Or at least from very little
Of a musical nature

It's a concept that I can't explain;
a mystery that I cannot solve


Insoluble

Church . . .


The church of music
Holds no ham and oyster suppers
We're all just deacons
With our boots upon the ground
Marching into mystery
In command but
Still can't quite see

The church of music
Won't require your weekly presence
You'll find it stays with you
No matter where you are
No dogmatic postulates
No demands on
Your fidelity

It can end the darkest night
Carry you through the hours
Know not if it’s wrong or right
Make no mistake
It’s divine
This church of mine

There are no fiery demons
In what I believe
It’s not for me to say
Who’s  what and where they go
All things flowing naturally
No controlling
Power over you or me

It can end the darkest night
Carry you through the hours
Know not if it’s wrong or right
Make no mistake
It’s divine
This church of mine

Stricly spiritual
No trace of any politics
Lurking in the mix or in the fabric
Only what is good
No room for hate and no deceit
Honesty
Sincerity will move you
And me

This church won’t interfere
With what you think or do
Your body and your mind are
Yours and yours alone
No one tells you what to say
No one criticizes
What you feel inside

It can heal the deepest wound
Shine a light in the darkness
Warm a chill in any room
Make no mistake
It’s divine
This church of mine

Mystery . . .


. . . okay, it's a little corny.  It was stuck in my head so I looked up the lyrics. It is fun to hear (and see) some of this old stuff-don't you think?




AH! SWEET MYSTERY OF LIFE
Victor Herbert (m) / Rida Johnson Young (l) )


Ah! Sweet mystery of life, at last I've found thee
Ah! at last I know the secret of it all
All the longing, seeking, striving, waiting, yearning
The idle hopes and joy and burning tears that fall.

For 'tis love and love alone the world is seeking
And 'tis love and love alone I’ve waited for
And my heart has heard the answer to its calling
For it is love that rules for evermore.

Sing It . . .

Cowboy . . .


Is there something new
That's happening between us
Or has
Something gone away that used to be

It's a mystery
Comes out of the blue
Just some evening
Words exchanged between we two
Starts out simply
Ends up blistering

Is there something new
That's happening between us
Or has
Something gone away that used to be

Maybe harmless stuff
About the weather 
Or some such
Dinner's fabulous
The company 
Was so intoxicating

Is there something new
That's happening between us
Or has
Something gone away that used to be

I'd like to talk
About what's happening
But when I do
I find that
I'm the one to blame

We've got to try
To see this through
We've been
Through so many things
And worse things too
The answer's
There to see

Is there something new
That's happening between us
Or has
Something gone away that used to be

Literally . . .




 (From 'Born of a Woman' by John Shelby Spong)
". . . A literalized myth is a doomed myth.  Its truth cannot be rescued. Literalism is not even a benign alternative for contemporary Christians.  It is, in the modern world, nothing less than an enemy to faith in Jesus Christ. It is a belief system built on ignorance, which acts as if God, the infinite mystery, can be defined in the words of any human being or in the thought forms of a particular era.  Literalism is a claim that God's eternal truth has been, or can be, captured in the time-limited concepts of human history.  It is to pretend that knowledge is finite and that knowledge does not therefore explode in infinite new directions daily. Biblical fundamentalism reduces the religious options for people to the shallow levels of propositional truth and then fills them with a religious certainty that can be maintained only by a defensive, aggressive hysteria.  When that certainty explodes, fundamentalism leaves the would-be fundamentalist with no alternative save a Godless despair . . .
