lyrics

PAUL: (1 Cor 4:1) As one abnormally born.
Entrusted with the secret things.
I run the race.
Every ligament.
Every ligament.
Every sinew in every being.
TAPE-PAUL: (1 cor 9:19) A slave to everyone, to win as many as possible. . . To the weak I become weak, to win the weak. All things to all men, so by all possible means I might save some.
TAPE-EMMA SWEET: (Acts 19:12) Even the handkerchiefs and aprons that touched him were taken to the sick, and their illnesses were cured and the evil spirits left them.
PAUL: (2 Corinthians 7) Make room for us in your hearts; God told us about your longing for me, your deep sorrow, your ardent concern, for this my joy knows no bounds.
PAUL-Live and Tape: (2 cor 4:17) But we have this treasure in jars of clay and we (phil. 2) shine like stars in the universe.

PAUL: (Acts 17:22) Men of Athens! I see that in every way you are very religious. For as I walk around and look carefully at your objects of worship, I even see an altar with this inscription: To an unknown God. Now what you worship as something unknown I am going to proclaim to you.
PAUL-LIVE: (5:3) Christ died for our sins…he was buried and raised on the third day, all according to Scripture. Then he appeared to Peter, to the Twelve, to five hundred of the brothers at the same time, to James, to all the apostles, and last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born.
PAUL: (Gal 6:17) As one abnormally born. I bear on my body the marks of Jesus.
I bear on my soul the marks of the Spirit.
PAUL- LIVE AND TAPE: I bear on my body the marks of Jesus. I bear on my soul the marks of the Spirit…
PAUL-TAPE: As one abnormally born. Entrusted with the secret things. I run the race. Every ligament.
PAUL – LIVE and TAPE: How beautiful are your feet my love. How beautiful, how beautiful. How beautiful are your feet my love. How beautiful. You have eyes on your heart. You have eyes on your heart… Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift: That brilliant light.
