(a chant)
Choking on the soup of inauthenticity
Struggling with the sorry state of humanity
People guarded, people hiding, people grieving, people biting
Release it all, sink into you
Envelop myself in what I know is true
My God is bigger than definition
My God requires no contrition
My God as expansive as the universe
My God is bigger than one book’s verse
I am the Sky, River, Earth & Tree
Rooting deeper into the you, the me, the we
I am Moses, I am Isis,
I am the all of it, undivided
Hallelujah to the Maker
Hallelujah to the Breaker
Hallelujah I am coming home
Every time I sink into bone
And blood and flesh and heart and song
God inside me, I am home
Pushing harder — too much time
And not enough to call mine
Tightness surrounding heart like steel
Body rigid, trying not to feel
But surrender comes and I am free
Yielding to the God in me
My God is bigger than all that hate
My God requires no debate
My God surpasses any theology
I’m in my God, my God’s in me
I am the Sky, River, Earth & Tree
Rooting deeper into the you, the me, the we
I am Inanna, Ruth, Vishnu,
I am whole and complete, just like you
Hallelujah to the Maker
Hallelujah to the Breaker
Hallelujah I am coming home
Every time I sink into bone
And blood and flesh and heart and song
God inside me, I am home
Our God is bigger than definition
Our God requires no contrition
Our God as expansive as the universe
Our God is bigger than one book’s verse
Our God is bigger than all that hate
Our God requires no debate
Our God asks nothing more than trust
We’re in our God, our God’s in us
Hallelujah to the Maker
Hallelujah to the Breaker
Hallelujah we are coming home
Every time we sink into bone
And blood and flesh and heart and song
God inside us, we are home
