Yeah, I've always had a thing for music inspired by Bible verses. Somehow it felt more real than purpose made "religious music" genre.
Interestingly enough I've had an unexpected 180 this last year related to music. Before this year I used to be much more about the musical sounds than the lyrics. The closest I've been able to describe how I perceive the world with my senses is to say things unfold to me like those videos of fractals. All the notes and beats in music I perceived as overlapping and interleaving connections on an almost fractal mathematical basis. Beautiful to me. Now?... Well written lyrics hit me hard at the emotional level to the point I can't listen to a number of songs. Now you get me posting lyrics.

Agreed, though to what end the meaning? In life I've never ended up where I thought I was going. I accept the coincidence and await what it will bring me. I'm wary of reading into signs we see. In my current state, or really anytime, it is far to easy to overlay our own purposes and desired endings rather than follow to His.
Symbols and Signs - Beautiful Eulogy
There's this idea that an individual Is somehow more spiritual If he sees these signs and symbols And takes what's normally invisible And makes it simple But I say the mark of a mature man Is the one who reads God's Word and understands And allows that to govern his decisions and his prospective plans ... I'm not saying that God can't do it Not saying that God won't do it That might very well be the case! I'm simply making an observation of how much weight you place on it ... I've never seen the partin' Of an ocean Or a cloud by day or pillar by night Just a normal everyday working of life Where things that suck royally Is evidence of His royalty Scratch your temple So deep it's simple Silly us, ignore the plain We prefer a riddle Dying to see a miracle While holding God's diary Looking for signs
I find this message overlaps with
