Seven Psalms: The Lord / Love Is Like a Braid / My Professional Opinion / Your Forgiveness / Trail of Volcanoes / The Sacred Harp
Song by Paul Simon
THE LORD
I’ve been thinking about the great migrationNoon and night they leave the flockAnd I imagine their destinationMeadow grass, jagged rock
The Lord is my engineerThe Lord is the earth I ride onThe Lord is the face in the atmosphereThe path I slip and I slide on
A crystal cometStarlit nightSilver moonTo smooth the edge of daylightNow turned the evening rose
Tribal voicesOld and youngCelebrationsA history of families sungThe endless river flows
The Lord is my engineerThe Lord is the earth I ride onThe Lord is a face in the atmosphereThe path I slip and I slide on
The Lord is a virgin forestThe Lord is a forest rangerThe Lord is a meal for the poorest of the poorA welcome door to the stranger
Tears and flowersDry over timeMemory leaves usMelody and rhymeWhen the cold wind blows
The seeds we gatherFrom the gardener’s gloveLive foreverNothing dies of too much love
The LordThe Lord is the earth I ride onThe Lord is the face in the atmosphereThe path I slip and slide on
And the Lord is a virgin forestThe Lord is a forest rangerThe Lord is a meal for the poorestA welcome door to the stranger
The Covid virus is the LordThe Lord is the ocean risingThe Lord is a terrible swift swordA simple truth surviving
LOVE IS LIKE A BRAID
Love is like a braid, some sayAnd I, I don’t disbelieve itCowrie shells, fine combs made of jadeTo ornament and weave it
I lived a life of pleasant sorrowsUntil the real deal cameBroke me like a twig in a winter galeCalled me by my name
And in that time of prayer and waitingWhere doubt and reason dwellA jury sat deliberatingAll is lost or all is well
Home, homeSun on my doorstepShocks me to findI’m a child again entwinedIn your love, in your lightIn your cool summer shade
The garden keeps a rose and a thornAnd once the choice is madeAll that’s left isMending what was tornLove is like a braidLove is like a braid
MY PROFESSIONAL OPINION
Good morning Mr. IndignationLooks like you haven’t slept all nightIn my professional opinionGo back to bed and turn off your light
I’m not a doctor or a preacherI’ve no particular guiding starIn my professional opinionI’m no more satisfied than you are
So what in the world are we whispering for?Everyone’s naked, there’s nothing to hideGonna carry my grievances down to the shoreWash them away in the tumbling tide
I heard two cows in a conversationOne called the other one a nameIn my professional opinionAll cows in the country must bear the blame
So all rise to the occasionOr all sink into despairIn my professional opinionWe’re better off not going there
What in the world are we whispering for?Everyone’s naked, there’s nothing to hideGonna carry my grievances down to the shoreAnd wash’em away in the tumbling tide
Wash’em away in the tumbling tideWash’em away in the tide
All that really mattersIs the one who became usAnointed and gamed usWith His opinions
The Lord
The Lord is my engineerThe Lord is the earth I ride onThe Lord is the face in the atmosphereThe path I slip and slide onThe Lord is a virgin forestThe Lord is a forest rangerThe Lord is a meal for the poorest of the poorA welcome door to the stranger
The Covid virus is the LordThe Lord is the ocean risingThe Lord is a terrible swift swordA simple truth, surviving
YOUR FORGIVENESS
Yesterday’s boy is goneDriving through darkness searching forYour forgiveness
In sorrow a beautiful songLives in the heart and sings for allYour forgiveness
Inside the digital mindA homeless soul ponders the codeOf forgiveness
And I, the last in the lineHoping the gates won’t be closedBefore your forgiveness
Dip your hand in heaven’s watersGod’s imaginationDip your hand in heaven’s waters
All of life’s abundance in aDrop of condensationDip your hand in heaven’s waters
I, I have my reasons to doubtThere is a case to be madeTwo billion heartbeats and outWaving the flag in the last paradeI have my reasons to doubt
Dip your hand in heaven’s watersGod’s imaginationDip your hand in heaven’s waters
All of life’s abundance in aDrop of condensationDip your hand in heaven’s waters
I, I have my reasons to doubtA white light eases the painTwo billion heartbeats and outOr does it all begin again?
Dip your hand in heaven’s watersGod’s imagination
All of life’s abundanceIn a drop of condensation
TRAIL OF VOLCANOES
When I was youngI carried my guitarDown to the crossroadsAnd over the seas
Now those old roadsAre a trail of volcanoesExploding with refugees
It seems to meWe’re all walking downThe same roadTo wherever it ends
The pity isThe damage that’s doneLeaves so little timeFor amends
THE SACRED HARP
A change of moodA summer storm erased the sunny skyTwo hapless hitchhikers were signaling usAs we were cruising by
Not in the moodFor idle chat or hitchhike companyNeverthelessWe took them on as highway courtesy
Hurry get yourselves inside the truckWe’re just going up a waysThe rain should turn to mist with any luckAnd you can find a place to stay
The woman spokeHer voice a blendOf regional perfumesWe have no destinationThe moon and starsProvide us with our rooms
My boy and meWe’re refugees of sortsFrom my home townThey don’t like different thereThey would have mowed us down
He doesn’t talk much anymoreJust to the voices in his headThe boy just gazed down at the floorAnd nodded once or twice at what she said
The sacred harpThat David played to make his songs of praiseWe long to hear those stringsThat set his heart ablaze
The ringing stringsThe thought that God turns music into bliss. . .We left the pick-up in the drivewayThe moon appeared as amber in the mist
The Lord
The Lord is a puff of smokeThat disappears when the winds blowThe Lord is my personal jokeMy reflection in the window
I’ve been thinking about our tribal natureOur benediction and our curseAre we all just trial and errorOne of a billion in the universe?
The Lord is my engineerThe Lord is my record producerThe Lord is the music I hearDeep in the valley, elusive
The Lord is my engineerThe Lord is the train I ride onThe Lord is the coast, the coast is clearThe path I slip and I slide on
WAIT
WaitI’m not readyI’m just packing my gearWaitMy hand’s steadyMy mind is still clear
I hear the ghost songs I ownJumpin’, jivin’ and moanin’Through a heartbroken microphoneWait
Life is a meteorLet your eyes roamHeaven is beautifulIt’s almost like homeChildren! get readyIt’s time to come home
I want toBelieve inA dreamless transitionWaitI don’t wantTo be nearMy dark intuition
I need you here by my sideMy beautiful mystery guideWait
Life is a meteorLet your eyes roamHeaven is beautifulIt’s almost like homeChildren! get readyIt’s time to come homeAmen
