“While My Guitar Gently Weeps” by The Beatles sung by an all-star tribute group featuring Prince on guitar (Click here to listen)

I look at you all
See the lover that’s sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps

Still my guitar gently weeps

I don’t know why nobody told you
How to unfold your love
I don’t know how someone controlled you
They bought and sold you

I look at the world
And I notice it’s turning
While my guitar gently weeps
With every mistake
We must surely be learning
Still my guitar gently weeps

I don’t know how you were diverted
You were perverted too
I don’t know how you were inverted
No one alerted you

I look from the wings
At the play you are staging
While my guitar gently weeps
‘Cause I’m sitting here
Doing nothing but aging
Still my guitar gently weeps

COMMENTS ON PREVIOUS SELECTION – “I Hope You Dance”

Jesus’ core message was that life in all its intended fullness is available in the now-present realm of God.  ‘Yet, you refuse to come to me that you may have life,” says Jesus in John 5:40.  He might well go on, “but my prayer is: ‘I hope you dance.’”
