about

Based on Julian of Norwich's famous sayings.The English mystic and hermitess lived in the 1300's around the time of the Plague was ravaging Europe. Her writings are lively and full of consolation. In one of her 16 "showings," the Lord revealed to her that in regards to His salvation that "all shall be well, all manner of things shall be most well."

Charles Williams, friend of C. S. Lewis and one of the Inkings was also a "fan" of her writings.

lyrics

JULIAN (IT’S DECEMBER AND I’M LOST)
words/music: bill mallonee

I have come here to give voice
to all of the impoverished
and to all the ones were
but mostly have n’er been
I’ve come here to scream out loud
and wipe some of the sweat
off their brow
even the ones just below my skin

I’ve come here to shatter
the grandest of illusions
that you stand so tall
and make it on your own
I’ve come here to reveal
that what you are is what you steal
and what you steal you
can never get y0u home

chorus:
It’s December and I’m lost
between Advent and holocaust
it’s all just static
or the hard sell
Ah, Blessed Julian!
Would you pray for me...and
whisper in my ear
that all shall be most well?
yeah, most well...most well

I’ve come here to extend
you the permission
to throw on that last shovelful of earth
I’ve here to despise
the accuser’s long, loud lies
i’ve come to stumble first
and then walk off this curse
