I found this short poem on a Baha’i blog about 2 years ago when I was in my late twenties. I had been Christian for most of my teens and returned to Christ just before I found this poem. Before returning to Christianity, I’d been investigating the Baha’i faith for about 18 months and I still enjoy reading the Baha’i writings and the poetry of Rumi.

I was moved by these words: I have been a wanderer, a worshipper and a lover of leaving. I know that “come as you are” is God’s generous, merciful and loving invitation to all of us.

White Man

Words and music by Michael Gungor and Lisa Gungor

{amazon id='B001CVCBUI'}

God is not a man
God is not a white man
God is not a man sitting on a cloud

God cannot be bought
God will not be boxed in
God will not be owned by religion

But God is love, God is love, and He loves everyone
God is love, God is love, and He loves everyone

God is not a man
God is not an old man
God does not belong to Republicans
God is not a flag
Not even American
And God does not depend on a government

But God is good, God is good, and He loves everyone
God is good, God is good, and He loves everyone

Atheists and Charlatans and Communists and Lesbians
And even old Pat Robertson, oh God He loves us all
Catholic or Protestant, Terrorist or President
Everybody, everybody, love, love, love, love, love

Oh, la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
Yeah, I say God is love, God is love, and He loves everyone
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
Stop the hating, please just stop the hating now cause God is love
Oh, whoa, la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la

When I did a post some time ago on the subject of breaking down barricades by means of consultation I wish I could’ve included the recent track by Davy Knowles instead of the picture of a crumbling stone wall at the end. Still, better late than never. Here it is. Enjoy some great blues guitar.

From a religious point of view the lyrics are of some interest as well. The word ‘soul’ comes into a number of tracks on his debut album ‘Coming Up for Air.’ ‘Saving myself’ has very moving lyrics with important spiritual implications. The chorus goes:

Doing what I could for someone else,
Didn’t know that I was saving myself.

O Thou kind Lord! This gathering is turning to Thee. These hearts are radiant with Thy love. These minds and spirits are exhilarated by the message of Thy glad-tidings. O God! Let this American democracy become glorious in spiritual degrees even as it has aspired to material degrees, and render this just government victorious. Confirm this revered nation to upraise the standard of the oneness of humanity, to promulgate the Most Great Peace, to become thereby most glorious and praiseworthy among all the nations of the world. O God! This American nation is worthy of Thy favors and is deserving of Thy mercy. Make it precious and near to Thee through Thy bounty and bestowal. - `Abdu'l-Bahá
