You get all the credit And You get all the praise Got us out of messes And pulled us out of graves We know You're among us In hearts that form a nation You don't separate yourself Or hide-behind some distant constellation Always coming back to You Source of every being Living omnipresent So there's no sense in fleeing Or need to plead Your spirit When bent to tie a sandal You're a tenant in the earth We've more access to You than we can handle Vertical in posture But kneeling in our hearts Found You down here with us Destroying the ramparts You wash feet with kisses We worry to demean You look up and say to us "This is the only way you can get clean"
