Our Father

from The Rosary Garden by Lizzie Bartow

lyrics

Lead me into my decadence, God
but lead me not into temptation
All that glitters goes underground but
but I fear gold leads to damnation
Didn't I hear it? How you cry
I'll fit better through a needle's eye
Let's not talk god let's just get high
Eloi lama sabachthani?

God bless us as we take communion
bind us in our sacred union
Bring us daily bread and wine
Bring us the leaves from off the vine
Didn't I know it? Didn't I say
how God sees us through every day?
Though we are in a Lenten spirit
he'll guide us to good Friday

Our Father, who art in Heaven
give to me the fruit of life
I would gladly commit my spirit
but I look back, I am Lot's wife
I'm a sinner, I am unclean
filled with thoughts both base and mean
but God like Mary Magdalene
even sinners in your court convene

Let me find you in paradise
bless me with your words of salvation
I inhale the mouth of hell but
I feel grace in exhalation
Will I argue purgatory?
Will I hold the fear of death?
I can't imagine there is blood
that's strong enough to pay my debts

God, lead him into my decadent arms
or kill my grandiose delusions
I will never lack in faith
but let me not fall for illusions

I thirst, and he wept
What secrets have we kept?
What blood and what bread broke?
What black or what white smoke?
