As I have often said, there was a time when God would speak to the world through the church. In more recent years, He has begun to speak to the
church
through the world. The musical The Lion King [my favourite show of all time] provides us with an excellent example this. The penultimate song,
He Lives In You
[Reprise] is a profound exposition of the apostle Paul
s mystery Gospel [Col 1:27]. The song is sung by Rakifi, the guide to the disconsolate Simba, who is mourning the death of his father who had been killed be the usurper Scar the evil lion. The song triggers Simba
s moment of revelatory self-discovery, where purpose and destiny collide as he sees for the first time his real identity. Have a read of the lyrics. More > I would love to hear from you if you if you can think of other examples of the mystery being proclaimed through the arts.

Hear the words and have faith
Have faith He lives in you
He lives in me He watches over
Everything we see
Into the water
Into the truth
In your reflection
He lives in you He lives in you
He lives in me
He watches over
Everything we see
Into the water
Into the truth
In your reflection
He lives in you He lives in you
He lives in you
He lives in you
He lives in you He lives in you He lives in me He watches over
Everything we see
Into the water
Into the truth
In your reflection
He lives in you He lives in you
He lives in me
He watches over
Everything we see
Into the water
Into the truth
In your reflection
He lives in you http://www.lionking.org/lyrics/
