Captain’s Log, Stardate 01.07.2006
I’ve been developing the spiritual theme for this current project for a while, and I think I’ve finally nailed it down. This song has inspired me in my own walk, but then it occurred to me that it communicates the emotional theme for my WIP very well, too.
The Robe by Wes King
Anyone whose heart is cold and lonely
Anyone who can't believe
Anyone whose hands are worn and empty
Come as you are
Anyone whose feet are tired of walking
And even lost their will to run
There is a place of rest for your aching soul
Come as you are
For the robe is of God
That will clothe your nakedness
And the robe is His grace
It's all you need
Come as you are
Anyone who feels that they're unworthy
Anyone whose just afraid
Come sinner, come and receive His mercy
Come as you are
For the robe is of God
That will clothe your nakedness
And the robe is His grace
It's all you need
Come as you are
From the album: The Robe

I love this song. I can totally see how it would inspire ANYONE.
ReplyDeleteI need to find my Wes King cd and play it. It's been a while, and I tend to forget how verses go if I don't play a song repeatedly.

Amazing lyrics Camy. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteIt would be a much better song if its English grammar weren't so bad. You have to really think hard to make sense of "And the Robe is of God that will clothe your nakedness." Is he intending to say, "And the robe that will clothe your nakedness is of God", or is he saying "And the robe is from the God that will clothe your nakedness." It is unclear what the clause "that will clothe your nakedness" is modifying. Poor use of English grammar ruins a potentially stellar song. Just another example of a premature release of a song before all the kinks have been worked out. And an example of why the English language is so confusing, unlike Greek.
