Music Monday: Jesus in disguise

April 28, 2014 pilgrim Leave a comment

Today’s music comes from one of my long-time favourites, Brandon Heath:

Ever get something in your head?
It’s nothing you heard or something you read
Ever had a cut but you never saw a blade?
Brought to your knees but you never prayed?

Jesus in disguise, Jehovah passing by
The burden of a tear hanging in your eye
Jesus in disguise, a scar across the sky
You were looking for a king you would never recognize

Ever feel like you been somewhere before?
You hold the key, you know which door
Speak the word your lips have never known
Because your heart told you so

So open my eyes wide as I can
Blind as I am, blind as I am…

Restless Popery

Yesterday on Facebook, Joe from Shameless Popery shared that he had intended to write a post on the supposed Pagan origins of Easter, but that our mutual friend, Steve, had referred him to Easter: The Pagan Conspiracy, a post I wrote on the same subject last year.

Joe had initially said he wasn’t going to write his own defense. Fortunately for us, rather than depriving the world of another of Joe’s excellent articles, he did write his own post on the subject, building off my original entry:
