A song about wanting to find a spiritual reality grounded in experience and authenticity instead of cold religion.
lyrics
Everything is burning
Violent winds are turning
These safety nets can’t hold the weight of the world
So I look for your face
All I see are idols encased
Bogged down and drowning in a cheap surrender
So help me let go
And fall into your arms
I need to know that you are here amidst the storm
So help me let go
And fall into your arms
I need to know that you are here and I can’t lose your love
Oh sons and daughters
Bowed down as cannon fodder
This isn’t worship
It’s ego ammunition
So I run for meaning
Tune for the Love-Light gleaming
I need experiential crucifixion
Offering of contempt
Do I believe or fear it?
Can’t deny I often feel the priestly jester
I need an earthquake
Every faculty awake
Help me return to that room of unknowing

Josh, your music has been a wonderful discovery for me recently as I have found myself being drawn back to the Lord. Thank you for what you do.
In this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not burdenous.
