The following is NOT RELIGIOUS...it is merely an attempt to describe the lyrics in "spiritual" terms that are affirmed and/or otherwise supported by the New Testament. It in no way detracts and/or otherwise passes judgment upon anyone's beliefs and is NOT a disparagement of any religion.
To each his own.
It is conveyed with the simple purpose of helping to "enlighten" those who seek peace and tranquility in a "fallen world" full of desperation and fear.
May it be an encouragement for you to ask, seek and knock on the door that resides within us all. May you be blessed with a reverence for all life and be selfless in all of your actions.
"Are we listening"....remain quiet and still and listen and hear the inner voice within you.
"To the hymns of offering?"...."Prevenient Grace"...bestowed upon the world as a counselor/comforter (The Holy Spirit) promised by Jesus in all 4 Gospels and in the Book of Acts. This occurred 50 days after Jesus death; His subsequent resurrection and exactly 7 after His second ascension.
The Pentecost was exactly 50 days after His death. The in-dwelling of the Holy Spirit is available to ALL who accept and confess with their lips that Jesus is LORD. Book of Acts 16:31 and Romans 10:9.
"Have we eyes to see"....Being spiritual blind and deaf ; we can finally see this world and our life through a new consciousness upon the "in-dwelling" of the Holy Spirit. Awake O Sleeper and Rise Up from the Dead and Christ will give you the light is described in the book of Ephesians.
"That love is gathering"....all who have the "in-dwelling" of the Holy Spirit know each other as brothers and sisters of our Heavenly Father and also our Saviour and LORD; Jesus. True love; is described in 1 Corinthians Chapter 13. It's referred to as Agape; not Phileo, Amore or Eros! Love NEVER fails! (1 Cor. 13:8).
"All the words that I've been reading"...references the "Book of Life"; New Testament...often found in hotel rooms placed by there by the Gideons. Non-denominational dedicated society to distribute Bibles. II Timothy Ch 3:16 VERIFIES that it contains God's Word and that it does have GREAT POWER!
"Have started the act of bleeding into ONE"...Once the "in-dwelling" of the Holy Spirit occurs; we become one with our Heavenly Father, Saviour and LORD (Jesus). Often referred to as the "Trinity". Refer to Book of Colossians Ch. 1:27; Gospel of John Ch. 14:17.
The rest of the lyrics describe the "epiphany" and resultant NEW perspective that occurs as a result of the "in-dwelling" of the Holy Spirit. Both great sadness and joy combined. Known as "conversion" or being born again of "Water and Spirit" as described in the Gospel of John Chapter 3...verse 5.
