10a BYOG (folk mix)

Grew up with church and Sunday school 
Ten Commandments, the Golden Rule Pastor preached of heaven and hell
This teenage kid did rebel
Began to search, lots of books I read
About the Buddha, the Book of the Dead
American Indians, the Sacred Earth
Don Juan and the peyote church

Found a commune, lived on the land
Things went sideways, got out of hand
I said ‘screw you’ and I went on a binge
Years of using, and I’d come unhinged
In the depths of my darkest days
If there was a God, he was far away
I worshiped at the altar of the local bar
My body was weak, my soul was scarred

CHORUS
They said: Bring your own God, bring your own God
Turn it over to a higher power
Takes a lot of work, it's an inside job
Gotta dig deep within, bring your own God
Bring your own God

Learned how to pray and meditate
To think about God, contemplate
A judging old man with a beard
Or a loving God right here 
If you don't have your own god to bring
You can use the group for what you need
Good Orderly Direction - G. O. D.
Or Good Old Darwin might hold the key

CHORUS

No matter your religion or your spirit view
There's a way to get better that’ll work for you
A God of your understanding
Will get you through

CHORUS
