letra de conversation with my dad - joshua golden

[joshua’s father]
joshua, josh
when you meet her, you will know that you know and
it will be a constellation
just a moment’s time
it’s like fifteen dimensional realities come together in one place, at one moment, and it’s timeless
and it will set such an event off inside of you that people won’t be able to talk you out of it
no one needs to talk you into it, it’s already a done deal
you actually get to see yourself in the future, in her, with her, as you all together
years from now, in a moments’ time
it’s a piece of eternity that kind of timestamps the couple at the same moment, and they’re forever one

[joshua]
love that

[joshua’s father]
oh yeah, there were pieces of my life that never made sense
like how my grandfather fell in love with his wife
walking down the street listening to a vocal lesson
he walks up two flights of stairs, knocks on the door
he doesn’t know where he is, and says to this girl he’s never met in his life, who’s singing, “i’m going to marry you”
and they get married and live for sixty five years, they were married
and i always got so embarrassed he tell that story, “oh, you’ll know, you’ll just know”
and so here it is, cathy stands up and i didn’t know it was cathy, stands up in this wake
we were all meeting in a chapel
and she got up and sang “we shall behold of him,” which was my dad’s favorite sandy patty song in the world
he used to just watch it for hours at a time, it just spoke to his spirit
i heard her singing that song and knew, i heard and knew that was my wife
i couldn’t see the front of her, all i could hear is the back of her, and then
there’s another piece of the story, i was working at cape gerardo and the lord spoke to me
he said, “you know, i want you to go abilene and pick up that car and you’re gonna meet your wife”
i thought, “what?”
it’s a whole weekend i’m looking around for her, and sure enough, i went and shared a song at a worship service and cathy was there and a friend of hers, who was not a matchmaker, ran up and came and said, “hey i just met your husband, he’s the one helping with worship today, leading singing the special”
and at the end of the service, we’re all sat in a circle and i remember her eyes
that’s all i remember were her blue eyes
and nothing special but i was still looking for this other girl
i knew the lord told me i would meet my wife, that was easter weekend
sure enough, three months later i move to abilene to do a masters of biblical languages and then ted dies
we’re all waiting at christina and she stands up singing this sandy patty song
i know in my heart, like grandad did, this is my wife
she turns around and the same girl who i saw in easter
it was just like everything in one moment came together, i just knew
i just knew
my dad was saying this is the one
it was just so incredible
it all came together in one moment, at one time
it dawned on me in one second to five seconds max
it was just like, okay
i went up and prophesied to her, “i’m the one you’ve been looking for,” and we got married
[joshua]
you just came up with that line

[joshua’s father]
god didn’t need any help with this one
oh my gosh
we stayed up one night all night long on august 10th of my birthday
i gave her mom’s ring
we were supposed to get married the following easter
i’d only known her for probably nine months when we did get married, we could not wait till easter
it’s good news too because john isaac was born 6 days after our one year anniversary
if we waited until easter, that wouldn’t be a good story
the rest is happily ever after

[joshua]
the rest is happy ever after
what comes after
happy ever after
there’s nothing after, nothing to ask for
happy ever after sounds a lot like heaven, heaven, heaven with you
heaven with my favorite two, just god and you
heaven when i’m with you
i feel your presence in every move
a healing essence
god look at you
