A great wedding song. Let me explain: See it spiritually… God is called Father of lights in scripture (James 1:17). Return to ash in scripture means to repent. When doubt returns, faith! Now that we are dead, means to die to self, have mercy on each other, be humble. Now we can be together… Christians live forever… There’s my take on this song…
God Wink: Notice the scripture name? Yup, James… Why does that matter? Do a Google search for James Hetfield lead singer of Metallica aka “The Riff Master!” I loved this band from the beginning, and there is a reason God had me praying for James. Look up the story about the song “The God That Failed”…
When God wants you, He will show you signs!
James 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.
“Now That We’re Dead” -Lyrics
When darkness falls, may it be
That we should see the light
When reaper calls, may it be
That we walk straight and right
When doubt returns, may it be
That faith shall permeate our scars
When we’re seduced, then may it be
That we not deviate our cause
All sinners, a future
All saints, a past
Beginning, the ending
Return to ash
Now that we’re dead, my dear
We can be together
Now that we’re dead, my dear
We can live, we can live forever
When all is pain, may it be
It’s all we’ve ever known
When flame consumes, may it be
It warms our dying bones
When loss has won, may it be
It’s you I’m madly fighting for
When kingdom comes, may it be
We walk right through that open door
All sinners, a future
All saints, a past
Beginning, the ending
Return to ash
Now that we’re dead, my dear
We can be together
Now that we’re dead, my dear
We can live, we can live forever
All sinners, a future
All saints, a past
Beginning, the ending
Return to ash
Now that we’re dead, my dear
We can be together
Now that we’re dead, my dear
We can live, we can live forever
Return to ashes, shed this skin
Beyond the black, we rise again
We shall live forever
