It would help if you would tell the rest of us which set of lyrics you´re referring to. Paul´s lyrics have had a spiritual quality, from "Blessed" through "Silent Eyes" to "The Teacher" and "Getting Ready For Christmas Day."

A number of Christian sects use the term "discernment" to mean the ability to recognize what is God´s and what is not, or more simply, to tell good from evil. That makes some sense in connection with Paul´s lyrics.

I meant as general comment on the body of work as a whole. Any other words folks would like to suggest.

I am vaguely aware of the religious connotations of the term.
