Every Time I Hear Those Words

Every time I hear those words
     Our father who art in heaven
My lips try to recite along
     Hallowed be thy name
Oh but I hate those words
     Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done
Those that would confine me
     On earth as it is in heaven
Tell what I am
     Give us this day our daily bread
Is evil, is wrong
     And forgive us our trespasses
I live by love
     As we forgive those who trespass against us
And love shall be my law
     And deliver us from evil
Not fear, not uncertainty
     For thine is the kingdom
I trust my soul to guide me
     And the power
And when I fail, it is I that fails
     And the glory
This devil of yours has not my soul
     Forever and Ever
I rule it, and I alone
     Amen
And the Goddess Rules Me
So Mote It Be
