One of my all time favorite songs of redemption, with plenty of dual symbolism, comes from a surprising source. It’s a song written by a professed Agnostic named Gordon Matthew Thomas Sumner (alias Sting). Although the former band member of “The Police” professes not to know the reality of God’s existence, he nonetheless understands just what Jesus embodies for all who do believe in God’s salvation. And to think from Sting, one who embraces the mystery of the universe, would come such a hopeful song!
“Dead Man’s Rope” is included on “Sacred Love,” his seventh studio album.
