Prince

A couple posts ago, I referred to the new Kevin Max Album, called "The Blood". On it he (reunited with DC Talk) covers a song originally written by Prince. Very intriguing lyrics written by someone who you wouldn't think has any sort of religious inclinations:

Black day, stormy night
No love, no hope in sight
Don't cry, he is coming
Don't die without knowing the cross

Ghettos to the left of us
Flowers to the right
There'll be bread for all of us
If we can just bear the cross

Sweet song of salvation
A pregnant mother sings
She lives in starvation
Her children need all that she brings

We all have our problems
Some big, some are small
Soon all of our problems
Will be taken by the cross

Black day, stormy night
No love, no hope in sight
Don't cry for he is coming
Don't die without
knowing the cross

Ghettos to the left of us
Flowers to the right
There'll be bread for all, y'all
If we can just, just bear
the cross, yeah

We all have our problems
Some are big, some are small
Soon all of our problems, y'all
Will be taken by the cross

The cross

As I was looking for a web page to link to for Prince, I stumbled upon his Wikipedia Page. Apparently he's a JW, converting in 2001.
