What happens at the end of this station:
There are three major events in this station: Spiritual Marriage, Consummation, Birth and Baptism.
God’s statement:
God playing the violin
A song sheet:
We’ve only just begun (Carpenters)
Meaning: In this sculpture, God makes reference to two songs – We’ve only just begun and For all we know. Both songs were sung by a brother/sister duo called the Carpenters. The choice of the group who sang these songs, the Carpenters, is significant. Jesus was a Carpenter and this is our marriage with Jesus Christ. The Carpenters were also a brother/sister duo –symbolic of soul-mates.
The song “We’ve only just begun” is a wedding song by the Carpenters.10 To listen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FoPuwKt1rbE
We've only just begun to live
White lace and promises
A kiss for luck and we're on our way
We've only begun
Before the rising sun, we fly
So many roads to choose
We'll start out walking and learn to run
And yes, we've just begun
Sharing horizons that are new to us
Watching the signs along the way
Talking it over, just the two of us
Working together day to day, together
And when the evening comes, we smile
So much of life ahead
We'll find a place where there's room to grow
And yes, we've just begun.
