Susan Werner

I heard about Susan's music on NPR's Religion program. I don't really like the music but the lyrics ring my chimes. I think her lyrics might become inspirations for new collages. If you want to learn more about Susan, go here.

Our Father (The New, Revised Edition)
Thy kingdom come to every nation
Thy will be done in everything we do
Lord, lead us not into temptation
And deliver us from those who think they're You
Lord send us forth to be of service
To build the schools and dig the wells
And deliver us from the creepy preachers
With their narrow minds and very wide lapels
Lord give us strength to bring compassion
to every corner of the world
And please allow for women in the Catholic priesthood
And remind the pope that he coulda been a girl
Lord deliver us from politicians
Who drop Your name in every speech
As if they're Your best friend from high school
As if they practice what they preach
