Name: Go Through the Door (Rough Stones)
Duration: P00H05M44S
Description: Words are the crude instruments by which we share our love, and in themselves are like the lovely stones stacked all over Ireland. But they themselves are not the love we share, and if we focus too much on them we miss the glory of Love itself. So go on, stop staring at the house; go on through the door...

about

Words are the crude instruments by which we share our love, and in themselves are like the lovely stones stacked all over Ireland. But they themselves are not the love we share, and if we focus too much on them we miss the glory of Love itself. So go on, stop staring at the house; go on through the door...

lyrics

Our words rough stones,
Precariously laid one upon the other,
Building walls and homes,
Delineating the boundaries of our lives.
Cold and Lifeless,
Having no breath,
The mark the paths through which life flows.

Be careful where you lay them,
Lest you impede the progress of another,
Do not cast them in anger,
For they do kill.
Do not stand before them
Staring in wonder,
Go through the door and know love.

about

James Olin Oden Raleigh, North Carolina

It's always been about what moves the heart. The songs I sing are compelling stories whose telling must be told over and over again. The stories range from dark acts that should not be forgotten to the silly revelries that we should never forsake. My hope is that as my heart is moved by the music so too may yours be moved.
