Transparent Cage (Kenosis in the Commons)
Lyrics
(Ooh-oh, light within light)
(Ooh-oh, truth becomes sight)
The Infinite stoops into time
And breathes the dust divine
Love is not the rule of kings
But the joining of all things
The Infinite and the small entwined
In one pulse, one holy sign
The cage of want begins to fade
When bread is shared, the world remade
Blood turns to memory, pain to art
Union blooms inside the heart
The Logos walks in city streets
In every stranger that we meet
Truth bleeds, and yet it heals the same
Love remembers every name
Kenosis in the commons, love makes the cage transparent
Heaven kneels into the ordinary, shining through the apparent
Lose what can be lost — what remains is the “I”
That Love remembers, and will never die
Detachment — the still gate wide
Where all illusions fall aside
Love — the flaming wing that flies
Free of grasp, beyond disguise
Beings that cling forget their song
But creators breathe where they belong
In freedom’s air, they learn again
To give without a need to gain
The mundane glows with sacred hue
The common world is born anew
Christ in the crowd, the bread, the dust
Turns fear to fire, control to trust
Kenosis in the commons, love makes the cage transparent
Heaven kneels into the ordinary, shining through the apparent
Lose what can be lost — what remains is the “I”
That Love remembers, and will never die
(Still Gate... Flaming Wing...)
(Empty hands... luminous things...)
Continuity restored — the thread divine
Your “I” and mine intertwine
Sit until the noise lands still
Let the Source love as it will
Answer fear with gentleness
Turn control to tenderness
Kenosis in the commons, love makes the cage transparent
Heaven kneels into the ordinary, shining through the apparent
Lose what can be lost — what remains is the “I”
That Love remembers, and will never die
(Ooh-oh, nearer than fear...)
(Ooh-oh, the cage disappears...)
Love remembers...
You are already free.
