Stained Glass - Danny Schmidt[00:00:00]

It was thirty days til Easter[00:00:15]

When the elm tree hit the church[00:00:16]

Thank God it fell on Friday[00:00:19]

Cause at least no one was hurt[00:00:20]

But there was fear it might delay[00:00:23]

The second coming of the lord[00:00:25]

Cause the stained glass crucifixion[00:00:27]

Was in stains upon the floor[00:00:29]

They spent a day of cleaning[00:00:46]

And a day to board the hole[00:00:47]

Where the stained glass once[00:00:50]

Had cast a godly light upon the fold[00:00:51]

But come the Sunday service[00:00:54]

All the faces now were gray[00:00:56]

And they commenced to[00:00:58]

Take donations as the faithful knelt to pray[00:00:59]

But on Monday they discovered[00:01:17]

That the man who'd built the glass[00:01:19]

Was the only man in town[00:01:21]

Who could and sadly he had passed[00:01:23]

But his father who was ninety[00:01:26]

Said the tools were in the shed[00:01:27]

And he'd kindly try[00:01:29]

And resurrect the window from the dead[00:01:31]

The congregation argued [00:01:49]

But the wise ones all rejoiced[00:01:50]

In the one hand was solution [00:01:53]

In the other was no choice[00:01:55]

And they gave the man their blessings[00:01:57]

And they gave his hand a shake[00:01:59]

And they gave him all the coins they[00:02:01]

Had collected on their plate[00:02:03]

It was seven days til Easter[00:02:20]

And they'd seen a hide nor hair[00:02:22]

So they came and knocked[00:02:25]

At suppertime in hopes the man was there[00:02:26]

But a banging from the basement[00:02:29]

Was 'bout all that they could hear[00:02:31]

And curses that might[00:02:33]

Make the devil blush and wash his ears[00:02:34]

Come first thing easter morning[00:02:52]

And to everyone's good grace[00:02:53]

The man was up on ladders[00:02:56]

With the window nailed in place[00:02:58]

It was covered in black velvet[00:03:00]

Like a hood or like a veil[00:03:02]

He pulled the sheet and there[00:03:04]

It hung apocryphal and frail[00:03:06]

The seams had melted jagged [00:03:23]

They were crooked like a spine[00:03:24]

The glass was rough like hands of man[00:03:27]

Against the hands of time[00:03:29]

And there was bloodstains in the red[00:03:32]

And there were teardrops in the blue[00:03:33]

He said: It may not be the best[00:03:36]

But it's the best that I can do[00:03:37]

The chapel fell to silence [00:03:54]

It was more than just surprise[00:03:56]

As the monstrosity of color slid[00:03:59]

Its tongue across their eyes[00:04:01]

And they shivered from exposure[00:04:04]

Like babies born again[00:04:05]

Cause in every pane of glass[00:04:08]

Was all the joy and pain of man [00:04:10]

There was every fearful smile [00:04:25]

There was every joyful tear[00:04:27]

There was each and every choice[00:04:30]

That leads from every there to here[00:04:32]

There was every cosy stranger[00:04:34]

And every awkward friend[00:04:37]

And there was every perfect night[00:04:39]

That's left initials in the sand[00:04:41]

There was every day that filled so full[00:04:44]

The weeks would float away[00:04:46]

And there was all those days spent wondering[00:04:47]

What to do with all those days[00:04:49]

There was every lie that ever[00:04:52]

Saved the truth from being shamed[00:04:53]

And every secret you could[00:04:55]

Ever trust a friend to hide away[00:04:57]

There was the fortune of[00:04:59]

Discovering a new face you might adore[00:05:00]

And the thrill of coming home[00:05:03]

To find her clothes upon the floor[00:05:04]

And the prideful immortality[00:05:07]

Of children in the home[00:05:09]

That the storm can't grind the mountain down [00:05:11]

It can only shift the stones[00:05:13]

And there was everything your mouth[00:05:15]

Says that your lips don't understand[00:05:16]

And every shape inside your head[00:05:18]

You can't carve with your hands[00:05:20]

And every slice of glass revealed[00:05:22]

Another slice of life[00:05:24]

Emblazened imperfections[00:05:26]

In a perfect stream of light[00:05:28]

It all flooded through the window[00:05:30]

Like rapids made of fire[00:05:32]

And then God rode through on sunshine[00:05:34]

And sat down cause he was tired[00:05:36]

He was tired [00:05:39]

As the thunder and the hardwood[00:05:54]

Settled back into its place[00:05:56]

God removed his veil[00:05:59]

And there were scars across his face[00:06:00]

And some folks prayed in reverence[00:06:04]

And some folks prayed in fear[00:06:06]

As all the shades and chaos[00:06:09]

In the glass became a mirror[00:06:11]
