[Title: TWO GOLDEN PIPES] [Intro] What does gold sound like? Look at the vessel. Earth. Weakness. Pain. Look again— THERE IS TREASURE IN THERE. [Verse 1] His body hurts. Still he comes to the instrument. Daily death enters the crucible. Words are gathered, formed and weighed. He transmutes the suffering, brings it into music. WORD BY WORD. SOUND BY SOUND. The weakened vessel pours— THUNDER GOES OUT. “The Spirit of the LORD spake by me, and his word was in my tongue.” [Hook] TWO GOLDEN PIPES— EMPTY IT OUT. WORDS INTO SOUND. PAIN INTO EXPRESSION. SALTED WITH FIRE. CARRIED BY HOLY GRACE. Two distinct vessels. One testimony. LISTEN— THAT'S WHAT GOLD SOUNDS LIKE. [Verse 2] You see me dance. You don't see the walls of pain I dance through. You hear his thunder. You don't see the weakened body that carried those words to the sound. Across the screen we may look fearless. “As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing;” He takes daily death through the crucible. I push pain through the dance. His pain— THUNDER. My pain— MOVEMENT. DISTINCTION IN THE SOUNDS. [Chorus] THE TREASURE IS GOD'S. THE VESSELS ARE EARTHEN. “But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.” TWO GOLDEN PIPES— POUR. Feed the lamp. Let the light burn. Give the body what you were given to carry. [Build] What does the oil do? IT FEEDS THE LIGHT. What does the pipe do? IT CARRIES THE SOUND. What does the tongue do? IT SPEAKS THE WORD. What does the sound do? EDIFY THE CHURCH. “Let all things be done unto edifying.” [Bridge] HE THAT HATH AN EAR, LET HIM HEAR. Through the two golden pipes— POUR. Strength for the weary— POUR. Light for the lamps— POUR. Sound for the hearer— POUR. “Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.” [Final Chorus] TWO GOLDEN PIPES— EMPTY IT OUT. WORDS INTO SOUND. PAIN INTO EXPRESSION. His pain— THUNDER. My pain— DANCE. SALTED WITH FIRE. CARRIED BY HOLY GRACE. Two distinct vessels. One testimony. WHAT DOES GOLD SOUND LIKE? THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS CHRIST. [Outro] Though the outward man perish— POUR. The vessel is earth. The treasure is His. Let the lamps receive. Let the body be edified. Let the sound go forth. Until all that remains is the testimony— JESUS IS THE LORD
