Something ’bout believing

När jag cyklade idag lyssnade jag bland annat på Duke Ellingtons fantastiska Second sacred consert, helt underbar!
Jag har sjungit många sånger från hans Sacred Concerts, men inte den här, Something ’bout believing… nångång kommer nog det med.
Tyvärr hittade jag en som inte hade med bitarna där man reciterar, så jag bifogar texten…

Something ’bout believing that keeps me unfolding.
Something ’bout believing that makes my soul sing.
Something ’bout believing that keeps me holding
On to GOD Almighty.

Something ’bout believing that helps my mending,
Something ’bout believing that there’s no ending,
Believing all the way because I’m depending
On The GOD Almighty.

I don’t light a lamp to see the Sun,
Don’t need proof of GOD,

Because I know that there ain’t a-gonna be but One.
Something ’bout believing in the creation,
Something ’bout believing the information.
Something ’bout believing there’s just one nation,
Under GOD Almighty.

I want to be hip, I want to be cool,
I got to be with it all the way,
Because I ain’t about to be no fool.

Something ’bout believing that’s greater than pleasure,
Something ’bout believing that’s more than treasure,
Something ’bout believing that’s beyond measure,
Just one GOD Almighty.

I know that you know,
The Bible says it’s so.
There is much mystery in the history,
To be exact, accept the fact,
An example or two is here for me and you.

Animals, birds and fish,
Have senses much keener and stronger.
And scientists do the difficult today,
And even the impossible just takes a little longer.

If you believe this,
What’s to keep me from believing that:

Something ’bout believeing that keeps me going,
Something ’bout believing my faith is growing,
Something ’bout believing that keeps me knowing,
I’ll see GOD Almighty.

Silliest thing ever read,
Was that somebody said,
”GOD is dead.”
The mere mention of the first word,
Automatically eliminates
The second and the third.

Det är något visst med att tro!

Amen!
