Below My Feet
Keep the earth below my feet
For all my sweat, my blood runs weak
Let me learn from where I have been
Keep my eyes to serve and hands to learn
Keep my eyes to serve and hands to learn
So I was still
I was under your spell
When I was told by Jesus all was well
So all must be well
From Mumford & Sons, “Below My Feet,” Babel (2012)

Marcus may be the son of evangelical church leaders, but I’d caution any Christian who assumes that they mean what we’d think they mean. These lyrics are a case in point. Is it good to be under someone’s spell? Could he possibly be saying “All must be well” in a sarcastic way? I’d argue that the worldview of this band is clearly postmodern. There’s a spirituality there, but it’s not Christian. That being said, I do like Mumford & Sons and they’re fun to listen to.
