I find it fascinating that someone brought this up because today i just
happened to be especially engulfed in my copy of lp2 and that lyric caught
hold of me. I don't know that this closing stanza of 5/4 is as much a blow
towards God as it is a plea for help and deliverance. It recognizes God's
supreme power and authority in Jeremy's life and his dependency on his
relationship with Jesus. As in everything this is only speculation. This is
my own interpretation :
I'm Lost In You
Open My Eyes
You Set Me Free
Oh Lift Me Up
You Held Me
I'm Lost In You
You're Jesus
I have the post that Jeremy sent to the sdre-l hanging on my wall. Not
because of the fact that I'm enamored by whatever Mr. Enigk has to say, but
because I think it reflects a very strong maturity and pretty much clarifies
what his faith is all about. He talks about all the pain he held within
himself and how God delivered him from that pain.. Just like 5/4: "You set me
free." Jeremy says in the letter that God "showed himself to me so clearly
that I couldn't possibly believe otherwise." Like in 5/4 : "Open my eyes." I
might be reaching a bit too far here, but I honestly think that Jeremy is
simply reveling in the majesty and power of his maker and recognizing his
nothingness without him. Sorry if this was too much personal opinion for
anyone..
