Apostles
Apostles: A Tapestry of Faith, Doubt, and Redemption
Lyrics
I swear I'll always see you, even when I close my eyes
I promise to always remember you, even when I close my eyes.
I always did believe you when you said that you would rise
I always had faith in your promise to rise again.
I watched you feed one thousand
I witnessed you providing for a large number, possibly symbolic of care for many.
I watched you feed four more
Continuation of observing your nurturing, extending care even to a few more.
Kingdom clean and unbounded, hidden beneath the cellar door
Describing a pure and limitless realm, concealed beneath a hidden entrance.
Beneath the barren fig tree
Underneath a lifeless fig tree, you discussed matters of faith and uncertainty.
You spoke there of faith and doubt
You expressed thoughts about faith and doubt, demonstrating power by moving mountains and casting out.
Threw mountains into the sea, cursed my roots, and cast me out
You performed miraculous acts, but also cursed my origins and expelled me.
I watched you walk on water
I observed you defying the laws of nature by walking on water.
I saw you, bathed in light
I saw you illuminated, perhaps symbolizing divinity or enlightenment.
I watched you walk on water
Repetition of witnessing the extraordinary act of walking on water.
I could not follow if I tried (and I tried)
Despite my efforts, I couldn't emulate your actions.
I watched the spear in your side bringing forth water and blood
I observed the spear piercing your side, symbolizing a mixture of water and blood.
That river would not run dry 'til it reached the throne of God
The flow of this mixture continued until it reached the divine throne.
I heard the tearing curtain, the temple clothed in dark
I heard about the tearing of the temple curtain, signifying significant events.
The sky remained uncertain
Despite these events, the sky remained uncertain and mysterious.
I washed my tunic in the yard
I cleansed my garment in the yard, possibly symbolizing a personal purification.
I heard the women weeping
I heard women mourning, expressing grief or sorrow.
I saw the empty tomb
I witnessed an empty tomb, a powerful symbol of resurrection or absence.
Recalled a virgin sleeping, a savior growing in her womb
I remembered a virgin's sleep, recalling the inception of a savior in her womb.
