about

Written by Matt LeFevers. Copyright 2013.

Lines referenced from the Gospel of Mark (ch. 1 verses 12-13), from 1 Kings (ch. 19 verses 11-12), and from the non-canonical gospel of Thomas, verse 5.

lyrics

You faced the devil in the wilderness for forty days. If I withstood for forty seconds that would be something. Among the angels and the animals the throne and crown forsake, while I still falter, I still stumble in Your wake.

Why weren’t You the hurricane, why not the fire? Why aren’t You the fractured earth, something I can’t ignore? Your voice is shrouded in the stillness, a whisper lost within the sound. Why do I fight so hard to hear You when You are closer, closer to me than myself?

This absent faith has less of dying than of dying down. Not blood and breaking but a sinking slow into the ground. Who could have known these ropes and cables that I mistook for ties that bind were but a lifeline cast to save my drowning pride? (I once could see but now am blind.)
