The hairs on your arm will stand up. At the terror in each sip and each sup. Will you partake of that last offered cup, or disappear into the potter’s ground? When the Man comes around.

Hear the trumpets, hear the pipers. One hundred million angels singing. Multitudes are marching to the big kettle drum. Voices calling, voices crying. Some are born, and some are dying. It’s Alpha and Omega’s kingdom come.

Johnny Cash, “The Man Comes Around,” American IV: The Man Comes Around (2002).

Only when we see how lost we are, we can find our way again. Only when we bury what’s dead can we experience life again. Only when we lose our religion can we be amazed by grace again.
