about

La Cite De Dieu

lyrics

Of all the angels and men who sinned
Their wickedness could not disturb
The power of God's own providence
To everyone, his own portion

Two cities have been
formed by two loves, the earthly with the love of self
the heavenly by God's own love, even to contempt of self

The City of God, show pity to the humble
and curse the sons of pride
We carry nothing into the world with us, and
we carry nothing out

What a difference, there is between
presumption from the creature's mouth
And the protection, that's freely dealt
directly from the Father's hand

The City of God, show pity to the humble
and curse the sons of pride
We carry nothing into the world with us, and
we carry nothing out

about

Peter Johnston RVA Richmond, Virginia

To put it simply, Peter Johnston RVA is Catholic indie rock; you
wouldn't hear this at mass, but it does try to prove that traditional Catholic thought and indie rock are not mutually exclusive. It began easily enough as a few home recordings but has slowly turned into a full on project that explores matters of human dignity and common good in society.
Sincerely yours,
Peter Johnston RVA
