Lyrics
THE MEDIUM IS THE MESSAGE
I have seen the sunset
flash green through sunset sea;
I have seen the spinning atom
and the galaxy,
I’ve walked barefoot through the Amazon,
touched a rainbow centipede,
seen the work of a God who sees us
in ancient stone cathedrals
and stained glass in the sand,
in monuments and pedestals
and what man has made of man;
and every documentary
and every book I understand
brings me back to a God who receives us.
CHORUS:
I keep coming back, keep coming back,
keep coming back to Jesus.
I keep coming back, keep coming back,
keep coming back to Jesus.
I don’t know how Jesus wept
or understand why he prayed;
I don’t know the why of angels
or how a death can save.
I don’t know why I want
or I give what I gave,
but I don’t believe a God who deceives us.
I can ask the why of church,
when philosophers disagree
on the puzzles of the parables--
they make vain decrees,
say the psychologists tell us
it’s a numbing fantasy,
but I keep coming back. I keep coming back
(chorus)
I’m feeling I’m finding future shock,
wisdom out of babes,
with joystick science
shooting down the aged,
seeing only simple words
flying across the page.
And all this is supposed to free us.
The medium is the message,
divine communication cool;
something about eternity
and a golden rule.
The medium is the message--
at a throne they say he’ll rule--
so I keep coming back. I keep coming back (chorus)
