ANOINTMENTS

Words and music by J. Rae Perigoe


“Keep washing my feet,” Jesus says,


“It won’t be long before I’m at rest.”


Those wilted flowers they place at his tomb,


Won’t help us much to face our doom.


Why is it we can’t take his advice?


Find neighbours to anoint with our own spice?


We stare, we stare, we stare at our plans,


Without realizing that we can…


Make anointments in our own voice,

Make anointments and then rejoice.


Make anointments of our own choice,


Make anointments and then rejoice.


(Rejoice, make anointments)


Astronomy’s a humbling thing;


You crane your neck and then feel the sting


Of individuality gone


But ego keeps right blindingly on…


But if we looked away from our mirror,


Our place here we’d perceive much clearer,


For while the stars are spun through the night,


Right here we can regain our sight.
