Lyrics
My Religion
©1997 Ray Kainz/Sue Ann Kainz
When I looked into your eyes
I thought I saw the flame
your kisses baptized me
and at your feet I prayed
Your body was my alter
were I worshiped every night
my faith was without falter
my will without a fight
You were my religion cross myself three times
Your desires were the trinity and your commands my wine
You were my religion but I'm through with you amen
no more of you amen
My teardrops make a rosary
a prayer as each one falls
no more genuflection
at the slightest of your calls
cuz I don't need your liturgy
to tell me that I'm wrong
confession's what you need to do
forgiveness is not in this song
I don't need your hymnal
to follow when I sing
no I don't need you anymore
this angel's taking wing
You were my religion cross myself three times
Your desires were the trinity and your commands my wine
You were my religion full of false prophetic talk
You were my religion gonna pick up my matt and walk
cuz You were my religion but I'm through with you amen
no more of you amen
