I know it’s a struggle for some when the Bible uses myth to tell truth instead of literal history. I wrote a super short song about how I find peace with such things.

Verse 1
From apple trees to wardrobes
The Shire lands to Mordor
A wood in which worlds might exist

Mythology is calling me
Louder than reality
Telling me to hear what it says

Tears fall down as lions speak
The Spirit overwhelming me
Here I find truth in your mane

Father you’re welcome to speak
The truth in your way

Verse 2
If creation took much longer
Than a few days on the calendar
It doesn’t make you less of my God

If the flood was not as high
As the mountain peaks and sky
I’d rather that you say that it was

If rain is not from crystal seas
I’ve not lost my theology
I like the story better in grey

Father you’re welcome to speak
The truth in your way

Ending
Tears fall down as lions speak
The Spirit overwhelming me
Here I find truth in your mane

Father you’re welcome to speak
The truth in your way
