Sufjan Stevens - The Transfiguration lyrics

When He took the three
Disciples to the mountainside to pray
His countenance was modified
His clothing was aflame two men appeared
Moses and Elijah came, they were at his side
The prophecy, the legislation
Spoke of whenever he would die

Then there came a word
Of what he should accomplish on the day
Then Peter spoke, to make of them
A tabernacle place
A cloud appeared in glory as an accolade
They fell on the ground
A voice arrived, the voice of God
The face of God, covered in a cloud

What he said to them
The voice of God: the most beloved son
Consider what he says to you
Consider what's to come
The prophecy was put to death
Was put to death, and so will the Son
And keep your word
Disguise the vision till the time has come

Lost in the cloud
A voice: Have no fear! We draw near!
Lost in the cloud
A sign: Son of man! Turn your ear!
Lost in the cloud
A voice: Lamb of God! We draw near!
Lost in the cloud
A sign: Son of man! Son of God!

Lost in the cloud
A voice: Have no fear! We draw near!
Lost in the cloud
A sign: Son of man! Turn your ear!
Lost in the cloud
A voice: Lamb of God! We draw near!
Lost in the cloud
A sign: Son of man! Son of God!

Lost in the cloud
A voice: Have no fear! We draw near!
Lost in the cloud
A sign: Son of man! Turn your ear!
Lost in the cloud
A voice: Lamb of God! We draw near!
Lost in the cloud
A sign: Son of man! Son of God!
