about

A gutsy celebration of Julian’s shocking discovery there is no wrath in God at all. A rather different story than that told by her bishop, the raging and war-mongering Henry Despenser.

lyrics

In you, my dear Lord Bishop – I find a sea of rage
A choppy wash in which good people drown
The breaking waves break everything, leave bodies on the shore
Your rage, sir, has an undertow
That drags God’s children down and down, down and down

Yet I laugh mightily and noisily, my giggle grows and grows
My laughter quells cathedral bell and hurts from head to toe
I roar mightily and merrily, our courteous God quite free
Of all the hate and violence in the hearts of you and me
This prayer of laughter
This prayer of laughter coming over me

For God, my dear Lord Bishop – she has no rage at all
There is no wrath or judgement to bring shame
If God’s a sea, the water’s kind, he carries sailors home
No rage, sir, can I find in God, no hint or trace of blame

So I laugh mightily and noisily, my giggle grows and grows
My laughter quells cathedral bell and hurts from head to toe
I roar mightily and merrily, our courteous God quite free
Of all the hate and violence in the hearts of you and me
This prayer of laughter, This prayer of laughter
This prayer of laughter coming over me
