Everything That’s Lost was the first single released by Good Saint Nathanael. The original mix is featured in the video above. Everything That’s Lost was also the lead track on the Good Saint Nathanael debuted album Hide No Truth. This was a different recording and mix. The title is loosely based on the book “Everything Belongs” written by Richard Rohr. This was the first book I was recommended to read when I started therapy. You can purchase either song on Bandcamp or stream it on your chosen platform.
Born during morning chapel so much damage to unravel
Picking out the sand and gravel wish I could time-travel
Before the nursery, through my family tree
I’d bring my boxing gloves, righteous anger – toward love
And Everything that’s lost will one day be found
Everything that’s living composted turned around
Giving birth to flowers, melody, and brand new song
Clean energy, fresh atmosphere, like ripples on a pond
Razzle, dazzle, frizzle, frazzle, swinging justice like a gavel
Inner turmoil and battle, wish I could time-travel
Not to Galilee but through my family tree
I’d bring my boxing gloves, righteous anger – toward love
I’d say, “Peace.” “In You.”
“unleash these burdens that have bound”
And together we’d sit.
Expelling we’d expound life to this hallow breeding ground.
I’d say “There is no need for performance.”
“You can sing a new refrain”
curses have been broken over our family name.
And Everything that’s lost will one day be found
Everything that’s living composted, turned around
Giving birth to flowers, melody, and brand new song
Clean energy, fresh atmosphere
like ripples, Like ripples, like ripples on a pond
