Pentecost Sunday is just around the corner and I’m planning to re-do (with a few changes!) a monologue that I did for Pentecost from a few years back. So the other night, I went for a walk late in the evening and began to listen to that very monologue on my ipod. As the monologue ended, the next song on my ipod happened to be KT Tunstall’s song “Suddenly I See.” And bam, it was such an unexpected God thing! Just read the lyrics!
Pentecost is about the coming of the Spirit, and if we personify the Spirit to be female… this song speaks volumes to who and what the Spirit does… beautiful, captivating, warm, fills up… she has the power to give, the power to see… And although Tunstall uses the “h e double hockey stick” word, the question is still the same: What does the presence of the Spirit mean to you and your life?
KT TUNSTALL LYRICS
"Suddenly I See"
Her face is a map of the world
Is a map of the world
You can see she's a beautiful girl
She's a beautiful girl
And everything around her is a silver pool of light
The people who surround her feel the benefit of it
It makes you calm
She holds you captivated in her palm
Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me
I feel like walking the world
Like walking the world
You can hear she's a beautiful girl
She's a beautiful girl
She fills up every corner like she's born in black and white
Makes you feel warmer when you're trying to remember
What you heard
She likes to leave you hanging on her word
Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me
And she's taller than most
And she's looking at me
I can see her eyes looking from a page in a magazine
Oh she makes me feel like I could be a tower
A big strong tower
She got the power to be
The power to give
The power to see
So, where have you unexpectedly experienced God? For me, I have been moved in the last month in a few films (the Kite Runner, Bobby) in a book (the Shack), in a song (Suddenly I See). God is speaking. The Holy Spirit is moving.
