Song Meaning of “As Wool” by Wovenhand
The song “As Wool” by Wovenhand speaks to a sense of security and protection, that comes from clinging to a greater power – in this case it is God. Through the lyrics, the song paints a vivid image of a distant flock of sheep being protected by a shepherd – a guard that will not stop in seeking out a need for security. The chorus speaks to the idea that when everything else fails, the protection of a higher power will ensure one will be able to stand amongst the flock – just like the strong wool that will be able to shield against the storm.
The song also speaks to the idea of strength and courage – that even when every other hope and light fades, God will remain and continue to provide solace. It is a reminder that when in search of security, it is best to seek out a higher power and allow them to take on the helping role. The faith that comes from knowing that no matter what – one is always in safe keeping – and that no challenge or storm will be able to stand in the way. The song “As Wool” serves as reminder that even in the darkest of times, God is our strongest ally and protector.
