Majesty, Snowbird Lyrics

Lyric discussion by rageofangels 

Cover art for Majesty, Snowbird lyrics by Sufjan Stevens

the words are just beautiful but a little beyond me.

i wonder whether the words: 'is it the right word you designed for me? is it the broken word or good advice i need?' is a sort of inner dialogue / debate about how literally to take the Bible.

Jesus is described as the 'word made flesh' in the bible and many christians also refer to the bible as the word, confusingly. Is Jesus on the cross the broken word? or is jesus just a great teacher - like gandhi saw him. is the bible inerrant?

I may be way off track, but that is what I thought of.
