SIMON & GARFUNKEL LYRICS
AS FATHER IN HEAVEN WOULD SEE IT.
"I Am A Rock"
A winter's day
FROZEN LIKE A LOG
In a deep and dark December;
LONGING FOR SUMMER TO COME
I am alone,
THINKING ABOUT HOME
Gazing from my window to the streets below
INTO A CONCRETE JUNGLE OF SORROW AND DISAPPOINTMENT
On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow.
WHERE FOOTPRINTS MELT AWAY
I am a rock, “cosmos”
WHICH IS JUST FLOATING BY
I am an island.
SURROUNDED BY WATER BUT NONE TO DRINK
I've built walls,
BUT I STILL FEEL NAKED AND EXPOSED
A fortress deep and mighty,
WHERE I THINK I CAN HIDE
That none may penetrate.
TO SEE ME AS I REALLY AM
I have no need of friendship; friendship causes pain.
I HAVE HAD ENOUGH, IT IS TIME TO WAKE UP
The film "They Live", by John Carpenter
It's laughter and it's loving I disdain.
IT IS BUT A LIE AND DECEPTION
I am a rock,
WHICH IS JUST FLOATING BY
I am an island.
SURROUNDED BY WATER BUT NONE TO DRINK
Don't talk of love,
UNLESS YOU KNOW THE ONE WHO IS LOVE
But I've heard the words before;
RINGING IN MY EARS
It's sleeping in my memory.
NEVER TO BE FORGOTTON
I won't disturb the slumber of feelings that have died.
BUT I WILL ACCOUNT FOR THE ONES THAT BRING LIFE
If I never loved I never would have cried.
BUT I CAN FEEL LOVE FROM ABOVE
I am a rock,
WHICH IS JUST FLOATING BY
I am an island.
SURROUNDED BY WATER BUT NONE TO DRINK
I have my books
TO READ ABOUT HOME
And my poetry to protect me; “Wisdom”
Wisdom
The Wisdom of Joshua the father of Sirach.
1:1. All Wisdom cometh from the Lord, and is with Him for ever.
1:2. Who can number the sand of the sea, and the drops of rain, and the days of eternity?
1:3. Who can find out the height of heaven, and the breadth of the earth, and the deep, and Wisdom?
1:4. Wisdom hath been created before all things, and the understanding of prudence from everlasting.
1:5. The word of God Most High is the Fountain of Wisdom; and her ways are everlasting commandments.
I am shielded in my Armor,
TO PROTECT FROM AN EVIL EMPIRE
Hiding in my room, safe within my womb.
WHERE I WAS BORN AGAIN INTO SPIRIT TRUTH
I touch no one and no one touches me.
UNTILL FATHER POURS HIS LOVE ON ME
I am a rock,
WHICH IS JUST FLOATING BY
I am an island.
SURROUNDED BY WATER BUT NONE TO DRINK
And a rock feels no pain;
WHEN THEY ARE DEAD TO SELF
In The Name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Paul said, "It is NOT I That Lives"
It is not "I" that lives but Christ lives in me (Galatians 2:20). It is not "Self" that lives but "Christ" lives in me. It is not "Self" that lives but "The Anointed One" - the One whose head/mind is anointed with the "Oil of Understanding" - the oil that lubricates the "seized-up" mind and gets it working again, understanding the TRUTH or WORD of God. It was, or is, "seized-up" because "Self" was, or is, jamming-up the works and blocking the channel through which the Holy Spirit can flow to "lead you into all righteousness" and wash you clean from inside, as it flows through you and then your "cup overflows" to others, to wash them clean with the TRUTH and the Light of understanding, that the now "working mind" receives in a Life united with God, its supply of understanding; oil and Light. Then the Light of understanding with its "shield of faith" (Ephesians 6) effortlessly and painlessly conquers the fear and darkness of ignorance (given by Satan and maintained by believing his lies) that lives in you. God thereby teaching you, from within ("in-tuition"), to be like Him, so that you need no man to teach you (1 John 2:27) because his "Self" will get in your way.
Matthew 5:48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father Which is in heaven IS perfect.
And an island never cries.
WHEN SHE CAN DRINK FROM THE WELL OF SALVATION
