Take Me on a Ride upon Your Magic Swirling Ship

       Take me on a trip upon your magic swirling ship, this was the lyric that had everybody suspect that Dylan was into drugs. Well, what is wrong with that lyric? For me, nothing! I can relate with it. I have even copied images of swirling ships and put them in my Facebook profile. Those photos are probably copyrighted so I don't have the authority to post them here.
       Me I also want to be taken on a trip on magic swirling ship. Since childhood I had dreamed of it. Yes the Lord have put eternity into the hearts of men. I have dreamed of going to other planets, specially that during my childhood days when plenty of movies have dealt with this subject. Science fictions? Yeah with men it is impossible but with God nothing is impossible. Am I drugged too? Ha! ha!
       Well here it the truth.Gospel Singer  Michael Smith sang "Swing down sweet chariot I'm ready to fly!" Cat Steven sang, "O peace train holy roller sound it louder!" The Bible speaks of fiery chariots wherein Elijah rode. In Ezekiel Chapter 1 such "ship" -such "train are described.  There is also a story in the Book of the Kings where those invisible fiery chariots were flying high above Israel enemies, making a sound like a waterfall. In a local Catholic song here in the Philippines, they sing it "The house  of Our Father blinks with light...blinks with light!" So I stop here, asking this one last question,
"When the Son of Man comes in His Glory with His glorious angels, will He find faith on earth?"

Mr. Tambourine Man,it True Meaning

      "Take me on a trip upon your magic swirling ship", so goes the lyric of Bob Dylan's song Mr. Tambourine Man. A young man commented that he was high on drugs  when he composed this song.It was a song without sense, he said;  I disagreed. The young man said that he had read it in the internet that Dylan was into marijuana long time ago and that it was said so in the articles. I said, yeah that maybe partly true. But I told him I can relate to what Dylan was expressing for I sing the same prayer too.

      "WWWhhhhhhaaaatt! A prayer? It is not a prayer, it is a song", said the young man. Well it is a prayer..a subtle prayer between a believer and his Lord. This is the truth. In a skeptical world, where if you use religious sounding words, people would be apathetic, Dylan had ingeniously hid his prayer and had also get the interest of many people. He was singing and praying a parable to his audience..and they had a hard time in nailing the meaning of the song.
       I said it is my song and prayer too...
                   "Hey Mr. Tambourine Man (read: He who sets the tempo-the Lord Jesus Christ),  
                    Play this last song for me (read: give me a chance to hear a last word from You and follow what You 
                              say as Phil Keaggy sang, "True believers hangs on every word He said).....
                    I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to (read: death have not 
                              visited  me yet  and there is nothing here for me and limited on earth, nowhere to go)
                       ....I know that evening's empire had returned into sand (read I know that the empires of     
                              darkness are subject to decay and had decayed)
                       ...But still not sleeping, my weariness amazes me, I,m grounded on my feet
                   and I have no one to meet and the ancient empty street too dead for dreaming
                         (read:...but death had not yet put me to sleep and I'm grounded on this earth... with death's as the only 
                               future I have on  earth...and I have not set an appointment to anyone else but You...You who have the 
                               Words of Eternal Life!)...
                   I'm ready to go anywhere, I'm ready for to...fade into my own parade
                         (read:I'm ready to follow You anywhere even to fade into my own death parade)
                   Cast Your dancing spell my way, I promise to go under it!
                   ....Let me ride upon Your Magic Swirling Ship...
