lyrics

Though I’ve changed some of my assumptions
His music will always be a foundation
Making Jesus something novel
A hearty invitation not a pathetic grovel
“We haven’t just been told, we have been loved”
Putting on his “Jesus gloves”
Ringhofer picks up a cache of instruments
And charges the world with his eloquence
In just a minute, maybe two
He knocks the prejudices off of you
Teaches truths from the Bible
In a way so wondrous and so vital
Giving a definitive sound to joy
Something playful like a toy
But something so intelligent
It’d take an encyclopedia to explain what he meant
He taught me that theology
And also Christian apology
Can be something very fun
If I want to ponder the ‘chosen one’
I just put one of his records on
And all my trepidation’s gone
He embraces the kingdom like a child
And helps us feel reconciled
To a God who’s smart but also kind
With noises like a tape rewind
We’re transported to the world of his making
Understandable but so groundbreaking
He’s taught me that the world’s a canvas
That a visionary God has granted us
And so I’ll try to touch one heart
With the wonder he has touched mine,
Through his art
