Beyond The Call Lyrics
I'm searching for the anger
Consider it a gift
Open up that window
Come betray me with a kiss
You have won, if nothing else
Rope enough to hang yourself
What is that to us?
Go beyond the call of love
Beyond the dreams of man
I have seen where glory falls
At the touch of mercy's hand
The truth you would deny me
Lying like a rock
How you gonna wake up
To the one that you forgot
Cover up was your intent
Acting like it's accident
Isn't it enough
Someday when hearts grown stronger
I'll know where darkness wandered
But I won't wait much longer
Consider it a gift
Open up that window
Come betray me with a kiss
You have won, if nothing else
Rope enough to hang yourself
What is that to us?
Beyond the dreams of man
I have seen where glory falls
At the touch of mercy's hand
Lying like a rock
How you gonna wake up
To the one that you forgot
Cover up was your intent
Acting like it's accident
Isn't it enough
I'll know where darkness wandered
But I won't wait much longer

John Farnham seems to like songs that have strong but abstract allusions to Jesus Christ and His crucifixion. Jesus was betrayed with a kiss from Judas, who hung himself. Jesus was, the Bible tells us God incarnate, so He was there from "the beginning" and would have seen Lucifer (Satan) fall from glory at the hand of mercy, which can only refer to God Himself. The Bible tells us that Satan entered Judas to perform his act of supreme betrayal. It is obvious too, that the passage indicates that cover up was Judas' intent as he planned and carried out his act.
It is about there that the allusion ends, or becomes corrupt because if the "first person" that the song is written is is Jesus Himself, He never "searched for anger". The only occasion where He displayed anger was when His indignation was kindled by His Father House being turned into a ":den of thieves". Never did he exercise - or desire to exercise - anger on His own behalf.
Jesus always knows where both darkness and light "wander". It is, however true that He won't wait much longer for the signs of the times indicate his return is close. Many will come in His Name claiming to be Him, but only He will come in the same way as He left, in clouds of glory so that every eye shall see Him.
