God(less) from Strange Bird by Sarah Jo

I see your god
Hanging round my yard
Listening to your voice
It doesn’t seem he has a choice

I hear you praying up high
Waiting for some parting sky
But no chariot comes
While you’re here twiddling your thumbs

I found my grace in the light on his face
I found my eternal rest in the heaving of his chest
I found redemption here in his whispers in my ear
I found a heaven above, on earth, in love

I see you on your knees
In a pew, begging for peace
But I like to stand up tall
And see how far from grace we can fall

I could sing in the choir row
But my voice sounds better alone
And if your god judges me
Well that’s all right, babe, I’m already free

I found my grace in the light on his face
I found my eternal rest in the heaving of his chest
I found redemption here in his whispers in my ear
I found a heaven above, on earth, in love
