Marshall McLean: songs and lyrics

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)

This song is based on the part of Sermon on the Mount where Jesus starts defining and redefining the nature and actions of our own hearts.

Those who would set out to believe and practice this messege are confronted with the definitions and true meanings of words and actions. True Riches all of the sudden start to look more like what we would call poverty and our giving starts to look more like stealing in the light of the true substance of our intentions.

If we are to live and believe the messege of Sermon on the Mount, we must no longer hide behind our words. In the end all things come down to void and substance, we must give heed to the substace, perhaps ripping open our own hearts in the process or redefining it.

There is a way to hate and call it love, there's a way to pull it straight from hell, and say its from above.
There is a way to lie, and barely say a thing, there's a way to steal from the poor in your offering.

Just Redefine it. Just Redefine it.

Down through the eyes of glory things turn around. the rich and poor become brothers and the lost become found.
Our light feet become heavy, lovers become wives, our small words become violence, our thoughts become knives.

Just Redefine it. Just Redefine it.

O what devils would be angels if we saw this place from a different angle? and O what loves would remain, if we called them all by different names?
and on whose side would we be if riches were worse than poverty?
and O whose words would we choose if the winners now latters would lose?
all these treasures and these wrecks we find when everything gets redefined.

Just redefine it. Just redefine it.

and my God what will become of me when everything, all I see, my God what will become of me when everything gets redefined.
