Brightest from Magnificat EP by ubcmusic

is this fear or joy, and what is the difference?
there’s a change coming on the wind
my God, it’s electric
and the skin on the back of my neck
is needles and stitches
like there’s a new light among the stars
just out of my vision

what joy could come from darkness
and not destroy the place we’ve made?
like if the candle we called Brightest
suddenly fell in the hay

is this love or death, and what is the difference?
there’s a change coming to the scales
my God, it’s infectious
and the veins on the back of my eyes
are straining and pulsing
like there’s a new light among the stars
that i can’t behold yet

what joy could come from darkness
and not destroy the place we’ve made?
like if the candle we called Brightest
suddenly fell in the hay

and this is the moment
where everything changes
and all of our fears find
the peace they’ve been chasing
and all of our comforts
shatter like mirrors
caught in a light like
has never been seen here
and the mountains, they crumble
chasms, they shade them
and all of our answers
grow into questions
when the feeble, like lions
are freed from their cages
and the mighty are pulled from
the places they’re saving:

this is joy
unspeakable joy
