Listen "When We Lost God as Creator"
Episode Synopsis
This one I wanted to add the lyrics, because there is a lot going on here:
WHEN WE LOST GOD AS CREATOR (Written by David W Litwin)
[verse 1]
On a distant island
A man of science makes a new conclusion
Staring out at nature
He asserts the divine is just an illusion
He comes home to much fanfare
He publishes a paper
The world takes a new turn
When we lost God as Creator
[verse 2]
Behind stain glass windows
Men in cloth start to clamor
They thought the inerrancy of their sacred text
Had been shattered with a hammer
So they shifted to fear and the Hereafter
And life lost its wonder
They retained some sway and control
But lost God as Creator
[chorus 1]
I’m not here to argue how He did it
I wasn’t there
The method and the timeline
I really don’t care
I only know the world is getting darker
It’s fading to black
When we’re meant to live in technicolor
And I want it back
[verse 3]
In the walls of a classroom
Johnny sits to hear
At the center of existence
There’s no purpose made clear
Though he can’t fully grasp it
Its affects are felt later
Anything to fill the void
When you lose God as Creator
[chorus 2]
I’m not here to argue how He did it
It may just not matter
The method and the timeline
Becomes meaningless chatter
I only know the world is getting darker
It’s fading to black
When we’re meant to live in technicolor
And I want it back
[bridge]
We lost wonder at our core
On that first fateful day
Look at our current world
And ask, what cost have we paid?
[chorus 3]
I’m not here to argue how He did it
I wasn’t there
The method and the timeline
I really don’t care
I only know we’re made in His Image
Which adds to the fact
When we’re meant to live in technicolor
And I want it back
