Hi Greg,

I wrote it such that this can be the predominant message and viewpoint for people so inclined to hear it that way. And if that is the case with you, I am extremely happy.

However, since faith and spirituality is a mystery, I allowed it to remain mysterious so that people of all faiths could relate to the central message as well--that of standing by one another "all the way to the top of the hill...where the hillside it littered with nails...and where they separate lies from truth." Dylan does this a lot.

I did have a funny moment when I was about to write and sing the vocals, where I imagined the Lord by my side saying, "Hey, let me take a whack at this one."

Who knows. Maybe He did.
