The Transfiguration - Sufjan Stevens

When He took the three disciples to the mountainside to pray

His countenance was modified, his clothing was aflame

Two men appeared;

Moses and Elijah came

They were at his side

The prophecy, the legislation spoke of whenever he would die

Then there came a word

Of what he should accomplish on the day

Then Peter spoke, to make of them a tabernacle place

A cloud appeared in glory as an accolade

They fell on the ground

A voice arrived, the voice of God

The face of God, covered in a cloud

What he said to them

The voice of God: the most beloved son

Consider what he says to you, consider what’s to come

The prophecy was put to death

Was put to death, and so will the Son

And keep your word, disguise the vision till the time has come

Lost in the cloud, a voice: Have no fear!

We draw near!

Lost in the cloud, a sign: Son of man!

Turn your ear!

Lost in the cloud, a voice: Lamb of God!

We draw near!

Lost in the cloud, a sign: Son of man!

Son of God!
