Thank you! Let Jesus show the way I’ve been trying to be my own guiding star But it appears it hasn’t taken me very far I’ve tried to be my own all in all and everything But it’s just been a hard and arduous thing When I look back upon the life I have lived And the choices I have made, what do I see? All hell froze when I tried to push my way But when I gave in, all life’s good came running at me With an open heart and mind and arms Lay down your war and hate and arms Let in the light of day and let Jesus show the way But hey, I’m not religious in an old sense I can’t stand the way that most priests talk In the state church or elsewhere After having tried to decide, each time I had to make a choice About something worthwhile Now I take a pause and I take a breath and listen within Then I know how to begin With an open heart and mind and arms Lay down your war and hate and arms Let in the light of day and let Jesus show the way But hey, I’m not religious in an old sense I can’t stand the way that most priests talk In the state church or elsewhere Try to get it right from the start Unite mind and heart Choose a way And don’t go astray And try to ease the pain Don’t stay the same Love your neighbor That’s the labor Lately I’ve been questioning my own path Who know how long it will last or where it will go Now I take one step back and I watch what’s going on And I release the need to know With a broken heart and mind and arms Lay down your war and hate and arms Let in the light of day and let Jesus show the way But hey, I’m not religious in an old sense I can’t stand the way that most priests talk In the state church or elsewhere

Hi Jake! Thanks for reaching out, for your kind words, and for the tip about Magnus Midtbø. I don’t know of such a place, but my first three records (Rust and golden dust, Inconsequencia, Dictions and contradictions) in physical form each has a booklet with the lyrics to those songs.
