A Mother's Day slideshow for my big sis, Linda. Bruce's narrative completes this song beautifully.

*****JESUS WAS AN ONLY SON*****
Jesus was an only son
As he walked up Calvary Hill
His mother Mary walking beside him
In the path where his blood spilled
Jesus was an only son
In the hills of Nazareth
As he lay reading the Psalms of David
At his mother's feet

A mother prays, "Sleep tight, my child, sleep well
For I'll be at your side
That no shadow, no darkness, no tolling bell,
Shall pierce your dreams this night."

In the garden at Gethsemane
He prayed for the life he'd never live,
He beseeched his Heavenly Father to remove
The cup of death from his lips

Now there's a loss that can never be replaced,
A destination that can never be reached,
A light you'll never find in another's face,
A sea whose distance cannot be breached

Well Jesus kissed his mother's hands
Whispered, "Mother, still your tears,
For remember the soul of the universe
Willed a world and it appeared."

  • Yet another masterpiece from the master songwriter...I reall wish Bruce had released an official DVD from the magnificent Devils and Dust tour.

  • 1:46 - 2:36 is such a beautiful narrative

  • My feelings exactly....You captured it..

    Nice work...

  • What a wonderful work of art. Thank you.

  • Very nice work! Great artistic talent.

  • Beautiful job, johnny

    I remember thinking while listening to his narrative at the Tampa DnD show that he understands motherhood so well, a credit to his own wonderful mother

    so much of Devils and Dust is about mothers; you could argue it's the central theme of that record
