Espresso Royale and Salvation Is Free



I'm in Espresso Royale in Ann Arbor sipping coffee and working on this Sunday's sermon. I brought my new Taylor to Herb David Guitar Studio for its free 6-month tune-up. (I love this guitar!)

Along with that I am deeply immersed in trinitarian studies. Currently reading: Paul Copan, "Is the Trinity a Logical Blunder? God as Three and One," in Contending with Christianity's Critics: Answering New Atheists and Other Objectors.

Then the song "Salvation" by The Cranberries starts playing. I google for the lyrics. They are...

To all those people doin' lines,
Don't do it, don't do it.
Inject your soul with liberty,
It's free, it's free.
To all the kids with heroin eyes,
Don't do it, don't do it.
Because it's not not what it seems,
No no it's not not what it seems.
Salvation, salvation, salvation is free.
Salvation, salvation, salvation is free.
To all the parents with sleepless nights,
Sleepless nights.
Tie your kids home to their beds,
Clean their heads.
To all the kids with heroin eyes,
Don't do it, don't do it.
Because it's not not what it seems,
No no it's not not what it seems.
Salvation, salvation, salvation is free.
Salvation, salvation, salvation is free.
Salvation, salvation, salvation is free.
Salvation, salvation, salvation is free.
