Strangely Bright
A song about those transient and trivial earthly things, and how in the light of eternity, rather than growing "strangely dim" as the old hymn says, they grow "strangely bright," illuminated, even in their insignificance, by the great significance of their Creator, and by the hope of resurrection. The title is taken from the book of the same name by Joe Rigney. Inspired by Ecclesiastes 3:9-21 and a certain night by the edge of Lake Superior.

Wunschliste
I took the path the moon cast on the waters
And I fell off the edge of the world
I waited there, my hands full of pebbles
And watched as they mattered more and more
The wave bowed her head and shuddered
Then raised her lips to kiss his tender hand
He came to me with basketfuls of cherries
And we feasted on the fruits of the land
And these lonely atoms
Dancing in orbit round his throne
And these restless bodies
And passing things of earth all grow
Strangely bright
Ships will come from long-forgotten countries
Bearing things familiar and strange
The veil will peel back, a scroll set on fire
But there will burn a well-remembered face
And these lonely atoms
Dancing in orbit round his throne
And these restless bodies
And passing things of earth all grow
Strangely bright
