Arms of God

I listen to quite a bit of secular music. One of my current favorite bands is Corrosion of Conformity. Their latest release is titled In The Arms of God. It amazes me that men of the world can get so close to Truth. Here are the lyrics to the title song, last on the album. The song is extraordinarily powerful. The words alone are not enough. If you want to hear it we can work that out.

Arms Of God

Words make fuel the power of fools to be used
Shadow you cast the longer it gets the shorter you last
Back to the wall now the one that you serve has abandoned your call
Desire backfires you become the opposed where you once had aspired
And you fall from the arms of God!
Sins are ignored the price you paid has been paid once before
Storm has revealed clarity brewing now it's you that is ruined
Rise! Rise! Rise! Rise!
Cast the veil the splinter has turned to a nail
Light has revealed your soul is beginning to seal
Visions have appeared delusions of death drawing near
Truth sets you free all along you were blind... now you see
As you fall from the arms of God!
Frozen still your freedom is testing your will
Pain has receded now you've lost your own will to believe! Believe!
Rise! Rise! Rise! Rise!
You're at war with your God...
These are the things that condition the man
Seldom shown the ways to understand
Heart was still beating but you know it was true
Locked in the cage and shown the wrong view
Standing alone like a lightning rod...
Sleep tight my friend you're in the arms of God!
