Jeshua Erickson: Swords into Plowshares -- Justice, Peace, Faith, Hope and Ordinary Life

All and All Just as All

All and all just as all is my only solace
And still you complain that you do not understand
That I might be lost, that I might have had
Some mental break when you knew me last
All and all and all is in the hands of my God
As it was in the beginning so shall it be
In the end

Maybe depression is the word that comes to mind
Medical answers and textbooks full of lines
Making boxes and frames, pictures in your mind
When you need them
It could have been that, or it could have been
That I've been moved to change the world
Singing songs that carry me through
That give me hope for tomorrow

Everyone carries around their own righteousness
Some get hung on that and never come down
But it's not for me to say who gets hung where
And for how long
Jesus hung on a tree for what seemed like an eternity
And they wouldn't let him come down
But some day he will
To bring the Kingdom

Some might've said Jesus was a bit depressed
And tried to give him something for the pain
So he wouldn't try to change the world
Or bring the Kingdom
They might have said he was a bit out of touch with reality
They might have called him a dreamer
But he was bringing the Kingdom.
