There are a couple of versions of this song. There is a somewhat subdued version with the following lyrics:
You alone of all
You in the sky
I want to know why clouds
come in between You and I
Let me know you
Lover woo me
Open up my heart and
sing Your song right through me
Nice right? That version is almost soft spoken compared to my favorite version on Fisherman's Blues. The version on Fisherman's Blues crescendos and builds with a soaring sax and fire in the fiddle. Mike Scott's voice is passionate and raw when he sings these lyrics:
Thou alone which art
You in the sky
I want to know why clouds
come in between You and I
come in between You and I
Thou art beautiful
And I am gifted
When in Thy precious presence
I am lifted
Let me know you
Come into me
Open up my heart and
Sing your song right through me
Let me know you
Come into me
Open up my heart and
Sing your song right through me
Thou alone which art
You in the sky
I wanna know why clouds
come in between You and I
It is a rainy Easter Sunday in Cincinnati and these lyrics seem a perfect way to praise the living Triune God in both sun and rain. And the bolded lyrics inspire me to remember my creativity comes directly from the ultimate Creator of everything. When I feel disconnected from my creativity, I lift my spirit up to be in God's Precious Presence...where I am blessed with His Perfect Gifts. Where His perfect Truth & Grace are within perfect balance.
