whatever you do,
to the hope that’s
taken ahold of you”
—Newly-written song lyrics by Andrew Peterson. It’s little hints of Reformed theology like this in his music that make it so beautiful and compelling.
“All was lost in Adam’s fall;
All in Thee is now recovered.
Once to sin and death a thrall,
O’er the pit of hell I hovered:
Now I learn to cling to Thee—
Once with Adam, one with me.”
—Welcome God’s and Mary’s Son (This hymn is so good and I’d never heard it until just last year!)
“I’ve endured struggling and thuggery, sir
Physical Ed and psychosis
Sculleries, skulls, and skullduggeries, sir
Haplessness, hype and hypnosisBut, oy vey!
”

When you play the violin
You betray an ear made of tin
When you play, when you slay
The violin
—“When You Play the Violin” by the Gothic Archies, featuring some of Stephin Merritt’s best songwriting ever.
