oh right it's another fantastic song by The Innocence Mission. Why am I even surprised anymore? Are they from a genetically advanced race of super-beings?

I don't see anything religious about their music, even if they are themselves. It is uplifting and melancholy in a positive way. Karen's voice is unique and impeccable. Very inspiring in a non-religious way to me. She just makes it seem so effortless.
This song is so beautiful and poignant. The lyrics are pure poetry. To my mind, Catholics usually seem to make the best "Christian-informed" art. I'm not sure why, but songs by evangelical Protestants often just can't compare. Anyway, this CD is one of my all-time favorites, second only to "Glow" (in my opinion) in the IM pantheon. I wish that someone would reissue it! Oh well, I just ordered it used and am awaiting musical ecstasy! :-)
@christianman73, I don't agree with your generalization. But, I do agree that the Catholic church has a rich and glorious tradition in the arts -- which at one point was envied by all of civilization.
Radiant song, brilliant album.

It was an odd bit of synchronicity, but this song led to a permanent connection with this band.

Even though I'm an atheist, my eyes still often blur up when I listen to this song.

it's not alone a question of belief, or a question of spirituality, it's only in the words and in the tunes brought by this brilliant band...
