about

"Salt" started off being called "Lumi[NaCl]" - a word that was meant as a hybrid of salt (NaCl) and light (lumina). The name seemed to confuse more than intrigue and the test listeners had a tendency to shorthand the title "Salt", so the name was changed.

It is meant as a prayer as much as anything else. God calls Jesus's disciples salt and light; a preserving influence as well as a reflection of He who dwells in unapproachable light. Am I a preserving influence on the world around me? Do I live a life that has flavor? Am I walking in light and clarity?

lyrics

You call me salt.
do I preserve anything?
You call me light.
am I bright enough to see?
in a world that dies,
do I slow the decay?
as I walk in night,
am I a herald of the day?
illuminate this world - shine Your light through me
and make me salt to slow the advance of all the wrong You see.
this pregnant pause,
so full of worth and moment,
reveals my flaws:
from any glory a swift descent.
ineffable light
seen through a dirty window
so feebly shines
how great a grace You bestow.
so bitter now
are things that once enticed me.
spice in life;
a taste of You is what I need
You preserve
and enhance all that is good
God, please keep me;
teach me to do the things I should
