Take It and Read (A Song with Saint Augustine)

 I wrote and recoded this little song this afternoon- cribbing lines from Saint Augustine’s Confessions. 

My house is too narrow

My soul is too small

I am collapsed and ruined

Enter, enlarge, rebuild it all

Take it and read

Take it and read

Take it and read

Not in rioting and drunkenness 

Not in chambering and wantoness 

Not in strife or in envy

But put on, put on the Lord

Make no provision

For the flesh

In concupiscence 

My house is too narrow

My soul is too small

I am collapsed and ruined

Enter, enlarge, rebuild it all

Take it and read

Take it and read

Take it and read
