These Three Things

from The Simple Son by Chaim Bezalel

/

about

An original song from Proverbs 30:18. "There be three things which are too wonderful for me, yea, four which I know not: The way of an eagle in the air; the way of a serpent upon a rock; the way of a ship in the midst of the sea; and the way of a man with a maid."

lyrics

THESE THREE THINGS ARE TO WONDERFUL FOR ME
FOUR TOO MARVELOUS TO SAY
I STAND AND WONDER AT THE BEAUTY OF IT ALL
IT TAKES MY BREATH AWAY

THE WAY OF AN EAGLE MOUNTING UP TO THE SKY
RIDING THE CURRENTS IN THE AIR
SPREADING ITS WINGS AS IT SOARS TO HIGH
DANCING AND TWIRLING IN A PAIR


THE WAY OF A SERPENT SUNNING ON A ROCK IT LIES
ITS NAME IS PAINTED ON ITS SKIN
TWISTING AND WRITHING AS IT STALKS ITS PRIZE
TELL ME WHERE IS THE SIN.

THE WAY OF ASHIP IN THE MIDST OF THE SEA
RIDING ON THE SWELL
ON THE BACK OF AN ELEPHANT LIKE A TINY LITTLE FLEA
IN OUR HEARTS WE WISH THEM WELL

THE WAY OF A YOUNG MAN WITH THE WOMAN OF HIS DESIRE
CHOOSING TO SHARE THEIR LIVES
MAKES ME BELIEVE THAT THE WORLD WILL NOT EXPIRE
AS LONG AS THEIR LOVE SURVIVES

Chaim Bezalel Stanwood, Washington

My mother had a collection of 78 rpm records of folk music and I became a folk music lover from a young age. I attended festivals and concerts, sat with Libba Cotten when she sang Freight Train.
