    "Make a holy sound with a dirty mouth" -- I love that.

    Lyrics:
    Sleep and healing comes
    In the heart of darkness, out from the abyss
    As a light that blinds my eyes
    Now as a kiss, from sorrow to bliss
    In the morning I may rise
    But at night I descend, in search of heaven
    From my veiled in misty mind
    Where I am broken, there i’ll see again
    Where there are dreary streets come dance with me
    And like blooming seeds from dark we’ll reach
    We’ll sing out loud to the orphaned now
    And make a holy sound with our dirty mouths
    They speak a language on the heights
    Like the sound of silence, or a blinding brightness
    But not a hymn nor sound nor cry
    Not but a kiss names the God of heaven
    So I seek that inner flame to know that kindness
    And to see that goodness
    And like keys my deepest pains
    Unlock the heavens, though I am ragged from them

      OMG thank you! I was looking for the lyrics on the internet, but couldn't find it.

    It still blows my mind that this song is as little-known as it seems to be. It is nearly perfect by my estimation. I have to imagine God loves it.

    I've been trying to read the Bible on my phone. Many distractions have kept me away. I turn on Benjamin James and continue on Genesis 45 then get to 45:12 And, behold, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is my mouth that speaketh unto you. While listening to brother Benjamin sing to me and THAT is no coincidence. Thank you Lord for such gifts. The Lord told me years ago "You're on the right path". He spoke into my right ear, my deaf ear and clear as a bell. On the right path.

      Because this level of poetry is too deep for most people to understand. Therefore, mainstream record companies don't pursue them.

      Maybe it’s not upbeating and filled with adrenaline like pop. Many people can understand this poetry

    • @johninmontana5847
      @johninmontana5847 7 лет назад +17

      I think that's the powerful thing about music- it can mean something different to everyone. I like it because it speaks to me personally. My parents, for instance, probably won't like it because it doesn't outrightly proclaim that we've overcome the listener's potential dark state in their life. There's a book that comes to mind called "On the Incarnation" by St. Athanasius. It's a very short book of about 100 pages that discusses the importance of what Jesus on earth and now raised from the dead means to us that are still on the earth. It's the difference between the church in the east and the church in the west- the east seems to magnify the God in us whereas the west magnifies our problems but has a place of serenity in that God brings us through it. Like in Hamlet, "To be or not to be, that is the question. Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, or to take arms against a sea of troubles and by opposing end them?" Is it better to suffer through them or fight like hell to overcome them? God loves us regardless of our decision, but the decision is ours in the end. Hope this helps! And sorry for being so damn long-winded haha!
