A Modern Hymn

about

Exposing the hypocrisy of the followers in the cult by reciting a truthful prayer.

lyrics

Lord of all our petty pleasures. Lord of cheap convenient love.
Turn our eyes towards earthy comforts, make our places fine above.
Bless our will and bless our weapons. Make the rich and strong our friends.
Keep the beggar off our doorstep, grant him quick and quiet end.

Lord of selfish ceremony. Fill our ears with useless praise.
All our clever critics lower. All our dull defenders raise.
When our sins to all expose us hold us close unto your breast.
Bless us far beyond our needs and love us more than all the rest.

When the meek inherit Earth be sure our Heaven’s paved with gold.
As our children grow to marry keep their love of equal yolk.
Tempt us not to help our neighbors lest we cast our pearls to swine.
Keep our love as pure oh Lord as I to me and thee to thine.

Let our gold and let our silver don our heads with Heavens crown.
As we age keep high our heads but keep our secrets underground.
As we lay our weary heads to rest pray others do not see.
That you are but and empty vessel. Nearer draw my God to me.
