    Kýrie, eléison means "Lord, have mercy" in Greek, and is a part of many liturgical rites in Eastern and Western Christianity. Kýrie, eléison; Christé, eléison; Kýrie, eléison is a prayer that asks "Lord, have mercy; Christ, have mercy; Lord, have mercy". According to Page the entire song is, essentially, a prayer.

    Kyrie eleison
    Kyrie eleison
    Kyrie

    The wind blows hard against this mountain side
    Across the sea into my soul
    It reaches into where I cannot hide
    Setting my feet upon the road

    My heart is old, it holds my memories
    My body burns a gemlike flame
    Somewhere between the soul and soft machine
    Is where I find myself again

    Kyrie eleison, down the road that I must travel
    Kyrie eleison, through the darkness of the night
    Kyrie eleison, where I'm going, will you follow?
    Kyrie eleison, on a highway in the light

    When I was young I thought of growing old
    Of what my life would mean to me
    Would I have followed down my chosen road
    Or only wished what I could be

    Kyrie eleison, down the road that I must travel
    Kyrie eleison, through the darkness of the night
    Kyrie eleison, where I'm going, will you follow?
    Kyrie eleison, on a highway in the light
    ...

    LORD OR JEHOVAH?

     A Circuit Overseer was working with a very humble brother in a rich part of town. When they reached a beautiful house, they met a man who did not hide his hostility. It was the humble brother’s turn to speak:

    Good day Sir. We are here to show people God's name.
    As you can see here in Psalm 83:18 it reads: ‘That people may know that you, whose name is Jehovah, you alone are the Most High over all the earth.’

    After a moment the man said: I want you to show me that in MY bible.
    The man returned with his bible and gave it to the brother. The text read: 'That they may know that you alone, whose name is the 'Lord,' are the Most High over all the earth.'

    You see? Said the man with an altered voice - God's name is 'Lord!’ - You understand nothing of the Bible! It is I who should teach YOU and that's exactly what I'll do!


    And the first thing you need to do is throw out your Bible. Give me your name and address! I will step in your home to teach you whenever you want.

    With a pencil and piece of paper ready, the man asked: What is your name?
    The humble brother replied: My name is Lord.


    No, I want to know your personal name - insisted the man.
    My name is 'Lord', insisted the brother.
    You must have a name. What is it? Insisted the resident.
    My name is 'Lord', insisted the brother even more.
    How can you be so stupid? Screamed the man. 'Lord' is not a name ...


    Returning to the man’s bible, the brother answered calmly:
    Well, if 'Lord' is not a name, then throw out YOUR Bible!
