lyrics

The Man in the Synagogue
Words & music: Susan Booth Mack Snipes

Did he spot Christ at once or did it take some time
To see through the fog that troubled his mind?
That raging anguish that hung like a cloud
On that man so possessed in the synagogue.

He cried out when he saw him, O let us alone,
As if there were many selves for whom he spoke.
Are you coming to destroy us, what would we have to do with you?
You, the holy one of God, what would you know about being two?

Hold thy peace and come out of him,
He is not insane and is not unclean.
He has no devil, no evil of any kind.
Can’t you hear, God is saying, he is mine!

Was he that way from birth or did his heart get broken,
By some deed of unkindness that brought on such confusion?
To the Master it didn’t matter one way or the other,
He knew man’s soundness to be of God, the Father-Mother.

Then Jesus spoke right to the insanity,
To that state of thought keeping him from being free.
Come out of him! You have no place to fill.
Spirit fills all space, and there’s no other will.

Then he fell to the ground as if he’d been thrown.
But he was not hurt and all evil thought was gone.
And the people, so amazed, said what a word is this and what power.
He commands the unclean spirits and they come out this very hour!

Hold thy peace and come out of him,
He is not insane and is not unclean.
He has no devil, no evil of any kind.
Can’t you hear God is saying, he is mine!
He is mine!

The Solo Committee Hernando, Florida

In May of 2001 a small group of people began holding Christian Science Sunday services on the south side of St. Louis. It was a precious group of people, and Susan, a Christian Science practitioner, decided to drag out her old guitar and write some church solos. She soon was joined by Carey and Sue Loomis and The Solo Committee was born. Over the years they have produced 11 albums. ... more
