pedro the lion

some part of a book i recently read......

"........Pedro the lion was playing and made my way to the front. I didn't know what to expect. Suddenly, the band started to play a song called "The Secret of the Easy Yolk"

I could hear church bells ringing,
They pealed aloud your praise.
The members' faces were smiling,
With their hands outstretched to shake.
It's true they did not move me,
My heart was hard and tired.
Their perfect fire annoyed me,
I could not find you anywhere.

Could someone please tell me the story
Of sinners ransomed from the fall?
I still have never seen you,
And somedays I don't love you at all.

The devoted were wearing bracelets
To remind them why they came
Concrete motivation when abstract could not do the sam,
But if all that's left is duty,
I'm falling on my sword.
At least then, I would not serve an unseen, distant Lord.

Could someone please tell me the story
Of sinners ransomed from the fall?
I still have never seen you.
Some days I don't love you at all.

If this is only a test, I hope that i'm passing,
Because I'm losing steam.
I still want to trust you.
Peace be still,
Peace be still,
Peace be still,
Peace be still."

just felt that this is a song that speaks for quite a few of my friends......
