Hello Dalí

There are moments Brilliance
That we see through all there is
Truly No coincidence
Longing, thirst for righteousness
The larger picture..

Walled on blackness dazzling stars
The larger picture hangs on fixtures
In our universe the living God has hung
Hanging there, you, Dalí grinding out The Bible facts and figures
Frame a larger moving picture of the Son

Jesus came to be one day
Burning presently his words
He had written what to say
But people say it sounds absurd
The larger picture..

Walled on blackness dazzling stars
The larger picture hangs on fixtures
In our universe the living God has hung
Hanging there, you, Dalí grinding out the Bible facts and figures
Frame a larger moving picture of the Son

True, He came to me, all right
When I saw him and went blind
In my soul I saw the light
The Son my peace of mind
The larger picture..

Walled on blackness dazzling stars
The larger picture hangs on fixtures
In our universe the living God has hung
Hanging there, you, Dali grinding out the Bible facts and figures
Frame a larger moving picture of the Son

You say I am all wrong
What I see and say can't be
But to Jesus I belong
Now I am his property
The larger picture..

Walled on blackness dazzling stars
The larger picture hangs on fixtures
In our universe the living God has hung
Hanging there, you, Dali grinding out The Bible facts and figures
Frame a larger moving picture of the Son

Night will fall once and for all
We will burn out with the stars
Ain't no hopin' otherwise
I believe his hands have scars
A larger picture..

Walled on blackness dazzling stars
The larger picture hangs on fixtures
In our universe the living God has hung
Hanging there, you, Dali grinding out the Bible facts and figures
Frame a larger moving picture of the Son
Frame the larger moving picture of the Son..

'Thy Kingdom Come' 'On the Road', #24

One donkey took a look to see and saw above the wings of heaven
the angel of the Lord light years from here - There-nigh close unto them..
Three wise men from the East arrive, the donkey didn't say when
but told me that today: Their star six-pointed them t' Bethlehem
Your wise ass speaking plainly, Lord, with Balaam..

Then came the voice of Jesus moving this trip through the Sun
freezing light speed last trained on the sound of him
arcing star to star, conducting black, back track the spin spun
My break through whispers rail the ancient echoes of his anthem
Sing humble earthy donkey, truth to Balaam..

Then broke through mid-East agri-hegemonic fascist super state
into Jordan:  Fast-track a Donkey Magic dirt Fertile Crescent kingdom
Into Moab, poised to battle Moses God and Man then celebrate..
Crashed she the wall before she knelt below one ass sat high above, dim
That young donkey spoke some kind words unto Balaam!

The angel of the Lord there visible to whom revealed
Do you see what I see clearly Momma my Jerusalem!
You have the eagle eye, but I the vision of the ass who kneeled
speaking of that Angel on the road, Ought all bow low to him?
Oh, ohhoh, sweet donkey preaching Peace on Earth to Balaam!
One donkey preaching Peace on Earth to Balaam..
