"I Went Dancing With My Sister"
"Waste of What Your Kids Won't Have"

When he took the three disciples to the mountainside to pray
His countenance was modified, his clothing was aflame
Two men appeared; Moses and Elijah came
They were at his side
The prophecy, the legislation spoke of whenever he would die

Then there came a word
Of what he should accomplish on the day
Then Peter spoke, to make of them a tabernacle place
A cloud appeared in glory as an accolade
They fell on the ground
A voice arrived, the voice of God
The face of God, covered in a cloud

What he said to them
The voice of God: the most beloved son
Consider what he says to you, consider what's to come
The prophecy was put to death
Was put to death, and so will the Son
And keep your word, disguise the vision till the time has come

Lost in the cloud, a voice: Have no fear! We draw near!
Lost in the cloud, a sign: Son of man! Turn your ear!
Lost in the cloud, a voice: Lamb of God! We draw near!
Lost in the cloud, a sign: Son of man! Son of God!

[veronica1095]

im not very religious, but at least i can enjoy the beautiful music

[jindabine43]

sweet mary piecrust! why does religion always cause arguments? can't people just politely acknowledge the faiths of others and agree that this song is awesome. god would love that. peace to all. x

[SodapopSays]

just enjoy the song and don't argue about religion. you're obviously never going to agree. so just enjoy it instead of stressing.

[MJ82108]

So beautiful <3

[cassiopeia625]

Only a brilliant man could truly reflect the beauty of God in such a simple song; this is amazing!!

[Skrubzero]

The message of love persists in this one. God is good!

[corleone925]

@veronica1095 ....yeah  I agree...

[biospherearcadia]

I'm an Atheist and even I think this song rules, it's just good music, plan and simple

[AniRemi]

I haven't heard a spiritual song this honest and artistic in a long, long time. The typical "contemporary Christian" fare that's played in most churches today pales in comparison.

[veronica1095]

@HL147oN eeeh i'd say a little les than a little

[HL147oN]

@veronica1095 your not very religious but your still a little
