God’s Too Big To Fit In One Religion
©2003 Garrett Clevenger

A E     Human’s have been here for a long time.
E A     But not quite as long as bugs or trees.
D A     And not near as long as the moon or the sun
E F#m   and the rain and lakes and rivers and the seas.

G G#
A E     So maybe we don’t know every thing.
E A     Perhaps we still got a lot to learn.
D A     About our beliefs and religions that we seek.
E F#m   There still seem many pages left to turn.

D E A     God ‘s too big to fit in one religion.
D E F#m   Like the wind God cannot be contained.
D A      A cloud may be formed today. It takes its shape then blows away.
E F#m    This cloud may not feel the wind the same.

G G#
A E     Quakers have got their own religion.
E A     Mormons and Muslims got theirs, too.
D A     And each one thinks they are the best, at least one cloud above all the rest.
E F#m   That includes the Hindu and the Jew.

G G#
A E     God please save me from your army.
E A     The one’s who kill and die for you in vain.
D A     Don’t they realize that behind their enemies eyes
E F#m   lies another creature you have made.

D E A     God ‘s way too big to fit in one religion.
D E F#m   Like the sun God cannot be contained.
D A      A leaf may feel the rays of sun, but that leaf’s not the only one.
E F#m    This tree may not feel the sun the same.

G G#
A E     You may think I’ve got no respect.
E A     I might seem quite the heretic.
D A     I’ve got my own beliefs, in this regard, I’m not unique.
E F#m   They’re growing and absorbing when they stick.

G G#
A E     So maybe we can all add to the scene.
E A     Perhaps your blue will go good with my green.
D A     A tree is not a forest without a sky above it.
E F#m   and all of it’s neigbors in between.

D E A     How could God fit in one religion?
D E F#m   Do you think you can catch God like the wind?
D A      A leaf may feel the rays of sun, but that leaf’s not the only one.
E F#m    This tree's leaves may have a different bend.

D A      A leaf may feel the rays of sun, but that leaf’s not the only one.
E F#m    This tree's leaves may have a different bend.
