John Hiatt – Norah Wilson Writes http://norahwilsonwrites.com/wordpress Just another WordPress site Thu, 21 Apr 2016 01:21:55 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.7.21 God’s artist http://norahwilsonwrites.com/wordpress/?p=466 http://norahwilsonwrites.com/wordpress/?p=466#respond Fri, 24 Aug 2012 03:17:05 +0000 http://norahwilsonwrites.com/wordpress/?p=466 On my walk this morning, i saw this fabulous spider web. If you click on the image to enlarge it, you’ll see the gorgous beads of dew it’s collected.

 

 

It instantly reminded me of a verse from a wonderful John Hiatt song called “Listening to Old Voices”. Here are the lyrics to the key verse:

 

There’s a spider at my window

And she spins a web of truth

More beautiful than all these memories

And she surely is God’s artist

As she’s caught the morning dew

It’s a simple prayer that brings me to my knees

 

I wanted to send you to see a video or at least hear him sing the song, but I couldn’t find a link. For you Hiatt fans out there, I know you’re hearing it in your heads. For those of you who are not yet Hiatt fans, go find some of his music and you will be. 🙂
