New song: “Faith and Science”
What if science and faith aren’t enemies?What if the closer we look, the deeper we magnify, the more mystery and wonder we find?
This week’s @wildwoodrecordingstudio song challenge pushed me to explore microscopes, and chemistry experiments as metaphors for doubt, discovery, and grace.
Would love to hear what you think!LYRICS:VERSE 1:I gather up a specimen and place it on the glassTo magnify and measure all the elements and massIn the subatomic universe, between my faith and doubtI’m looking for the answers, but the mystery wins out
CHORUS:Sometimes faith is more like theory, then theology or creedsWith deterministic rules that lead to unpredictabilityBut maybe faith and science don’t have to be at odds|Faith can’t explain the science, science will never explain God
VERSE 2:I find a Bunsen burner and an Erlenmeyer flaskA chemistry experiment might be up to the taskMixing up the chemicals of certainty and sureA synthesis of faith both confident and insecure
VERSE 3:Magnified or multiplied, I still can’t pin it downThe formula keeps changing every time I turn aroundBut something pulls me deeper, it's a force I can’t escapeThe Spirit holds like gravity, with unrelenting grace
