Here’s a new song lyric…
Savior Now
It was a dark and stormy night when i met Jesus
there was a Capricorn conjunction in the sky
the moon was new, but I felt old, went out walking in the cold
well the tide was low, and oh, so was I
I spied him with my eyes, white robed with golden hair
I curled my lip, I put him in his place
said, “Jesus was a black haired Jew, I will not believe in you,”
and his water eyes ran streaming down his face
He said,
You must be the savior now,
you must be the savior now
My time is gone, I taught them how, but they forgot it anyhow
that earth’s alive, there is no sin, the kingdom lives inside your skin
and you must be the savior now (2x)
he said, this form of light is what you see now
they burned my bones and cast the ash to sea
they killed me on that cross, I could not sustain the loss,
whatever rose to heaven wasn’t me
Now my atoms have dispersed to everywhere
dissolved into the earth, into the water and the air
you breathe me with each breath, and you feed upon my flesh
and that alone explains how much you care
And you must be the savior now
You must be the savior now
no matter what your choice may be, there is no escaping me
the Heart of All lives in your skin, your world can heal and you can win
if you will be the savior now (2x)
a strand of light sprang from his heart straight into mine
and I watched it spread a web all round the earth
and though it was so long ago, I remember it just so
the feeling was as real as birth
I thought I must be crazy, who sees Jesus?
I packaged up the memory of that day
I locked it, threw the key away, but it grew inside me anyway
and makes me feel so strange to hear him say
you must be the savior now
you must be the savior now
Jesus Christ was born again, he’s in the stuff of everything
he’s in your heart, and in theirs too, there is no enemy, just you
and you must be the savior now
You must be the savior now
You must be the savior now
he came to seed the earth with light, he came to die, but not take flight
and now he whispers from inside, the voice of love and peace and pride
saying, I will be the savior now
I will be the savior now
and we can be the savior now
