True Confession . . .




Again, music is speaking to my heart. I stand convicted by a song by an awesome musical duo:


The Twenty First Time

Listen Here.












nowhere to live, nowhere to fall
he used to have money,
but he’s wasted it all
















his face is a photograph
burned in my mind
but i pretend not to see him
for the twenty-first time.















he sleeps under stars,
that’s all he can afford





















his blankets and an old coat
he’s had since the war













he stands on the corner
of carter and vine

but i pretend not to see him
for the twenty-first time.
















he may be a drifter,
he’s grown old and gray




















what if he’s Jesus
and i walk away?


















i say i’m the body
and drink of the wine





but i pretend not to see him
for the twenty-first time.

i say i’m the body and drink of the wine
