about

these were the words that kept coming to me as i recited the lord's prayer, as i did my weekly mental gymnastics in church to keep the good news alive in my heart. i have a girlfriend who wanted an alternative prayer for her church. i created the song and a video to share with her congregation on mother's day.

lyrics

our mother who art in earth
hallowed be thy creation
shekinah come
indwell wisdom
within this mortal person

you give us this day
our daily cup
attend our deepest wounds
for we are called to birth life anew

tempt us with your beauty
to pursue your desire
and deliver us from all slavery
present this hour

for thine is the drink of passion
that nursed a manger baby
great found of mystery
spring

now and forever, amen.
