Commentary: The Song is a motion picture based on the Biblical tales of Solomon, King of Israel, son of David, including the Song of Solomon (also known as the Song of Songs), from whence comes the title. Solomon, also known as Jedidiah, is represented by country singer-songwriter Jed King, son of fellow musician David King. It is an affecting if not terribly innovative meditation on the corrupting influence of fame, money, & sex. "End of the Matter" is Jed's song after he has repented of his wandering & dissipation & returned to his wife, Rose (Naamah), & son, Ray (Rehoboam). Jed is constructing a chapel he has long promised to build for Rose, paralleling Solomon's construction of his fabulous Temple.
"Now here is the end of the matter,
Why you should live a good life:
He's done in the shadow of the darkness,
He's gonna bring to the light.
So cherish the gifts of your Maker,
Delight in the wife of your youth,
Remember God's your Creator,
Whose help leads to the truth,
Whose help leads to the truth.
"So here is the end of the matter,
Why you're searching for the truth, my friend:
He carved His mark in our hearts.
We're never gonna comprehend,
Just how He cause the beginning,
How He's gonna bring it all to an end.
The only hope that we have
Is the Only Son that He did send,
Is the Only Son that He did send.
"So at the end of the heart of the matter:
His will be done, not mine.
He breaks the seal, fulfills the sign,
Makes everything so beautiful,
It's all gonna be so beautiful,
In His time."
