In the beginning there was God It was God or it was something Or maybe there was nothing at all It's hard to believe But maybe part of it is real Let's assume, there's a God but not The Fall A voice out there in somewhere Confident, sincere Echoed in the darkness Loud enough for all to hear Loud and clear "It's the year of our Lord!" Then something sprang from nothing It was summoned from the void A universe was spoken into life An unmoved mover Inspiration running wild Breathed, then turned on the light While everything was flowing It called forth the human race It shared with us consciousness Accompanied by grace And we appeared It was the year of our Lord But this God isn't perfect Yeah, It's learning as it goes Expectations are high, heaven knows Power without limits Doesn't mean it's always good But this God is trying, and it shows In suffering there's progress Though that can be hard to hear The DNA of creation Is in each and every tear When every year is the year of our Lord A God of understanding Yeah, I think this God is woke And it hopes we learn to wake ourselves A God who values blackness A God who loves what's queer A God whose love overwhelms Some pray to God the woman Some pray to God the man But God is more complex than we can ever understand It will be clear In the year of our Lord In the year our Lord We'll find out that where we're going There's no pearly gates but just an open door In the year of our Lord The choir's always growing And we'll join in and sing forevermore And everyone you know And those you haven't met That history remembers or that history forgets Will all be here In the year of our Lord In the year of our lord I think we'll all want for nothing Everyone may stay young instead of old No economy in heaven Nothing's made of gold I think that's a story we've been told But galaxies are flowing To a distant point in space Maybe the unmoved mover is residing in that place We're drawing near To the year of our Lord In the beginning there was God It was God or it was something At the end there will be God or something still The whole of creation This violent, holy place Maybe it's all bending to some will Now I'm no expert, and on that we can agree But I'm a part of you, you know, and you're a part of me So have no fear We're in the year of our Lord
