Extol (Revision)

Extol, O Sister
Laud O brother seven nations greater than thou
To be consumed this door
I pray that it helps me to delight
Even in mine infirmities
Two nights ago I was disillusioned
To its extreme
Revision, O keep it up
Precision to refill again my Christmas cup
Fruit is tonight's motivation
If I don't get that spinning wheel
I'm not come to destroy the law but to fulfil
Love the sinner as well
Give him the gift and pour out your hearts
Upon these pages come decades of arrogance
Between the dial where I go the extra mile
Come the very profile
Going not against the grain of my style
Heart lifted up
God will bring it down in due season
In the look and eye department....






In Horeb

Keep up the friendship in spite of the scruple
If you worry it will be curable
Maybe I took it all out of context
For our Anakims
These giants that are our bread
I can see success from miles away
Forty days and nights rain cleanses
This earth ephemeral
For tablets of stone
And the law, our schoolmaster
To bring us to Christ
O, Taberah
O, Kibrothhath
Do the math and cast aside the wrath
God can use it for his higher purposes
For Due's occurrences
On the old hippy highway
For our watchful friend
The Shagreen eagle
Barely legal
Good enough to eat
O, Massah make my memory manifest....
