Wow.I love how in a few minutes BF creates a narrative that is so vivid yet is shrouded in a sense of wonder and mystery. I feel like she could excel at any type of writing, beyond the medium of song. (But I’m glad she has chosen this artistic medium, as she infuses a much needed sense of inspiration and depth to an industry that glorifies the opposite.)

The blood is for OUR minds steeped in alienation, hiding and seeing our Father through a lens of fear. In the metaphor of the cross, Jesus gives himself to the animals who crucified him---US---and says "you want blood then take mine." We love to exact revenge, we need blood to somehow deal with what we perceive as do "good and evil". We are all about wrong and right. Moralists have locked people's minds up in a system of futility. Didn't we eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. It's a deadly system. We've been locked in that system ever since and unable to tune into God. Listen, God doesn't need blood! He is love. He's not looking to punish people. Men want to punish people because they want human justice. Human justice wants revenge and punishment. God wants to change people by loving them because "love never fails." We like bloodshed, eye for an eye, etc. True justice is God saving us from ourselves. Jesus says at Golgotha the place of the skull, as one with the Father, "we forgive you because you are so alienated and lost." His position of forgiveness will never change. God forgives (gives beforehand) every time. The blood is for our minds, not God's as religion twists and perverts. There's nothing wrong with God because He's a forgiver and a lover.

To me this is a song just about getting through hard times and enduring the harshness of the elements. I love how everyone can have their own interpretations regardless of whether they're religious or not.

Not just one of the best Christian songs, but one of the most hauntingly great songs period. That outro...phenomenal. She's truly blessed, and does a wonderful work.

"Crows and Locusts” is a Steinbeckian story of a farming family helplessly witnessing the decimation of their crops through various forms of pestilence, told through the eyes of the young daughter.The daughter has the persistence and faith to know that it will be okay and the crops will grow again.The daughter may have her faith through Jesus and is why she still has hope in her sad situation,but the song subject isn't about being saved.Just read the title and the lyrics,it kinda explains itself

To me this song is about having faith through the hard times regardless of how the situation looks. Knowing that God is a merciful God.
