No, It's not about Religion

People think it is religion but you see,

they’ve missed the mark

hey don’t understand that you are my friend

when its light and when it is so dark.

For it’s not in the building

no it’s not in the rules

it’s the knowing that’s inside me

it’s the healing of your words.

For in the quiet you sit by my side

brush the tears from my weeping eyes

You plant in me hope; yes, you help me see

Your my friend in deed, never failing me.

People think it is religion

for they’ve watched the rules of man

trying to make their own mark

and making judgments for their right.

I’m so glad I saw for what it was

and never gave in to that strife.

For I know you’re like no other

I just wish more could see

For you made me whole

made me beautifully.

For it’s not in the building

no it’s not in the rules

it’s in the truth of your promise

it’s in the healing in your words.

If you want a friend like I have

One that will never let you down

I’ll share how to know him

and have a love completely found.

Cause’ I’ll tell you it’s not religion

I tell you it’s something more

something real, something deep

that you’ve never known before.

So if you’re on a journey

looking for what seems can’t be found

I promise, yes I promise

just listen to the sound.

As it comes in the stillness

it comes in ways you may not see

but he’s waiting so patiently

he is here for you and me.

Many think the answer is religion

I’m here to tell you it isn’t so

It is something so much greater

and it’s my hope you’ll come to know.
