At The Moment

Stavesacre show last night at The Door in Dallas.

I don't expect many of you to "get it."
It isn't most of your type of music.
It isn't most of your crowd.
But I can tell you this:
Once the show started it was truly a deep, spiritual experience for me.
I enjoyed the hour and 15 minutes more than I can tell you.
I promise you that my dwelling place in the Kingdom will be a lot like that hour and 15 minutes.
It was really that meaningful to me.
Again, I don't expect many of you to "get it."
It was beautiful.
And suddenly, I once again feel very far afield from my fellow man.

Here's some lyrics from one of their songs, "At the Moment." Of course, you'll have to imagine the primal sound/heavy bass/screaming guitars if you haven't heard it before:

"With a sigh i greet the day
i feel the morning on my face
weary at the moment i awake
even as i lie
the thought returns to mind
"welcome to the rest of your life".
somewhere i've lost my way
from saved to stray and failing
in silence my spirit pleads,
"is the vision lost
or has it been passed on?
is there any use continuing?"

my soul will wait
my soul-wait silently
for God, my God(God my refuge)
and i will live
and i know some destiny
still waits for me

his faithfulness, my hope
it brings comfort to my soul
with a still small voice whispering,
"call upon my name and i
will set you up on high
be still and know that i am God

creation speaks to me
i'm stricken to my knees
in reverance and fear
forever my Almighty
the heavens in your hand
surpass the grains of sand
who am i before you
elieonai eli adullam [God my father, God my refuge; Hebrew]

What a great night.
I wish I could describe it with words that would mean something to you, but I can't. I'm sorry. I'll shut up now.
