Description
Of course, the task of baptizing all nations in the Name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit and teaching them to obey Jesus’ commands (Matt. 28:19-20, NRSV) will always result in suffering and death before resurrection, and I arranged for the relentless faith of “Jubilant Noise” to segue into a more apprehensive variation on that same emotion in “Weaklings” to instill the unavoidability of hardship in any Christian’s life.
Lyrics
Comfort for the weary and the weak; only by Your hand are we set free. When Your Son emerges from the haze, all will praise the only King who saves. Golden crowns all tarnish over time, so tell me: Why does our conviction sound so shy? Our God wins the war with blood and skin, heart, soul, mind, strength immune to death and sin. Can the Holy Spirit be foreseen? Who else would move to make us all unique? And even in our suffering, who compares to a mighty King who calls such doubtful heirs? Oh, why must we lament a shepherd gone when the source of worldly beauty carries on? May this ancient message still be news to weaklings strong enough to be like You. (C) 2012 Made to Make Music
