the mighty threshing instrument
with teeth and mulching blades
was trampling down the impudent
and dredging out the glades
and redirecting time and space to culminate this day
the dispensation of fullness
of times and what they say
they say that it's all relative and I believe it's true
it's all dependent on what our focus has in view
for only one thing matters when you're staring in the face
of the one great potentate who extends to us this grace
he's faithful and will not allow you to be pressed beyond
that which you are able if you let this be your bond
make his words your own and he enters on the scene
his yoke is easy
burden's light
do you know what I mean?
this instrument prepares the way for one reality
it prunes away the branches from the conductivity
of the power lines and cables and all that intersects
with the grid that absolutes intertwine with and connect
it makes each hill lay flat and it fills in every ditch
it makes the rich man poor and it makes the poor man rich
it tramples out the vintage till the wine vats overflow
with the elixir of love from the God who makes us know
"there's only one way to go to the Father
and without Jesus you shouldn't even bother
shouldn't even bother to try and I'll tell you why
cuz Adam and Eve they sinned in the garden
and for that sin there was no pardon
till Jesus Christ he died to set us all free."
