Screaming Into The Void
By Douglas DoNascimento (Based on Ecclesiastes 12)
This song emphasizes the importance of turning to faith and calling on a higher power before life’s challenges overwhelm you, urging listeners to seek spiritual guidance while they are still young and able, rather than waiting until they are lost or in despair. It encourages a proactive, humble approach to spirituality, with the message that true salvation and peace come through connecting with the Creator before it’s too late.
The Lyrics
It’s not a prize to be won
Not a burden to bear
Just a gift to clear the way
And save you from the snare
Don’t find yourself
Screaming into the void
Is anyone listening?
Screaming into the void
Does anyone care?
You say you need HIM
You’ve got HIS number
So, Call on HIM now (Now)
2-2-2-2-2-2 Two Knees on the ground.
Before the sun and light grow dim
Before the doors to the streets are shut
Before you are afraid to walk up a hill,
Terrors on the way. This is not a drill.
You say you need HIM
You’ve got HIS number
So, Call on HIM now (Now)
2-2-2-2-2-2 Two Knees on the ground.
Remember your creator while you are young
Yes, now. Before the evil days come
When you find yourself screaming into the void (void)
And the joy is gone.
For the Lamb was slain
To light up The Way.
And bring you home. (Home)
