hitting the nail on the head

after much anticipation, when i finally got the new thrice cd, beggars, 2 weeks ago, my first listen left me a little disappointed. but a crazy thing has happened, it has not left my player since! and i love it a little bit more every time it plays. much of this appreciation has to do with dustin kensrue's lyrics... great stuff! very biblical stuff like this from "all the world is mad":

We can’t medicate man to perfection again;
We can’t legislate peace in our hearts.
We can’t educate sin from our souls, it’s been there from the start.

But the blind lead the blind into bottomless pits,
Still we smile and deny that we’re cursed.
But of all our iniquities ignorance may be the worst.

Oh, what little light we have!
It only serves to show
The snares and seeds of wrath
We have already sewn on every path.

Praise God for Jesus Christ - the only remedy to our situation! "In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. For what we proclaim is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, with ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake. For God, who said, "Let light shine out of darkness," has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ." 2 Corinthians 4:4-6
