I will admit that when I first heard it, however, I thought it was probably going to be some cheap song about the current war that everyone is writing the same things about; but Paul came through again with a winner. Its a beautiful and minimally cliched song, much more than you can ask from a lot of artists these days, who all seem to write the same things.
I'm personally in love with the lines, "because you cannot walk with the Holy if you're just a halfway-decent man." Makes me smile, mostly because it seems to get back to the roots of Christianity, back when God expected you to be good and didn't coddle you; if you were going to make it to Heaven, you had to obey, no ifs, ands, or buts. This connects well with the fact that Paul is Jewish, and doesn't believe in the more modern personification of God.
Brilliant. That's all I can say about this song.
