My take on the latter section of Paul's first letter to the Corinthians, chapter 15.
lyrics
MAN OF DUST
A man of dust called out to me
As I was walking by
He had a smile upon his face
And a twinkle in his eye
“We shall not all sleep,” he said
“But we shall all be changed.”
Then he winked and blew away
My mind was rearranged
CHORUS:
O Death, where is your victory?
O Death, where is your sting?
This natural life will pass away
It just don't mean a thing
His words, they were a mystery
And froze me on that road
I saw myself as in a mirror
And the image, it did goad
I tried to look away, but I
Could not help turning back
To see the bad things I have done
And the good things that I lack
CHORUS
The mirror disappeared, and I,
Unfairest of them all,
Thought only of that man of dust
And to my knees I then did fall
“I'll be steadfast, immoveable;
In good work I'll abound.
Lord, change the image that I bear
At that last trumpet sound.”
