Sealed | An Original Catholic Song About Confirmation

A song for anyone who got confirmed as a teenager and felt absolutely nothing. ✝️ "FIRE THAT CAME ANYWAY" shirt → https://www.etsy.com/listing/45690491... ────────────────────────────── When I was confirmed I don't remember feeling any different then before. I was confused as I thought there would be a significant change in me. Now that I am older I can feel the Holy Spirit working through me and realized that the gift of the Holy Spirit was sealed within me and I am only now learning how to speak and listen to him. Part of a series I'm writing — song 2 of 7 one for each of the seven sacraments. ▸ LYRICS They were locked in a room with the door barred shut Fifty days of nothing but fear Hiding from the ones who took Him down Praying no one knew they were here Then the whole house shook and the windows blew And a sound came down like a coming storm And fire split and settled on their heads And not one of them was the same by morn The wind don't ask if you're ready The fire don't ask what you are Sealed By the fire and the oil and the name Sealed Not a soldier that I trained to be He came for me Come down, Spirit, come down Breathe on this dust and make it stand Sealed Sealed I stood in a line in a borrowed coat Sixteen years old and half asleep The bishop's thumb was cold on my head And I made a promise I couldn't keep I didn't feel a thing that day No fire, no wind, no light Just walked back out to the parking lot And drove into an ordinary night But the wind don't ask if you're ready And the fire don't ask what you are [Chorus] Advocate, Comforter, Breath of God Third and equal and true Same one who moved on the face of the deep Same one who made her carry You Wisdom, counsel, courage, awe Seven gifts and a tongue of flame You were never a feeling I was owed You were fire that came anyway It took nineteen years to find the mark Buried under everything I'd done Kneeling on a floor at thirty-five With no strength left and nowhere to run And the thing I never felt at all Was standing there the whole time through Waiting on a man to run out of himself So there'd finally be room for You [Chorus] Veni Sancte Spiritus Veni Sancte Spiritus Veni Sancte Spiritus Come down, Spirit, come down ▸ ABOUT THIS RECORDING I provide some lyrics. AI helps me finish and record them — it's how someone without a studio or a band gets a song out of his head and into the world.
