Bless the fire that bakes our bread.

Chorus
I am the goddess
My feet are rooted
Deep within the earth
My head among the stars
My crown the universe
My arms are open wide
To hold eternity
I am the tie that binds
Encircling you and me
I am the sun and I am the moon,
I am the bride and I am the groom,
I am the wine and I am the bowl, and
I am whole.
I am the sun and I am the moon,
I am the seed and I am the womb,
I am above and I am below, and
I am whole.
May all mothers know that they are loved
And may all sisters know that they are strong
And may all daughters know that they are worthy/beautiful/powerful
That the circle of women may live on / That the fire of the goddess may burn on!

Eastern Morning/First breath of the soul
World view forming/Sacred and whole
Wind of knowledge/Simple and wise
Bringer of the lightning/That strikes in our minds
Come to us – be here now
Southern fire/White rays of the sun
Source of will/That always is done
Heat of passion/Longing and need
You who push the Green one/Out of the seed
Come to us – be here now
Western river/Devotee of the moon
Gentle sculptor/Of babes in the womb
Spring of Jubilation/Courage and Tears
Giver of the sweet love/That soothes all our fears
Come to us – be here now
Northern mountain/Body of the Earth
Finite treasure/Of infinite worth
Cave of transformation/Childbirth and death
Suckler of the wild ones/Who curl upon your breast
Come to us – be here now

We all come from the Goddess
And to her we shall return
Like a drop of rain
Flowing to the ocean
We all come from the Goddess
And to her we shall return
Like a drop of rain
Flowing to the ocean
We all come from the Goddess
And to her we shall return
Like a drop of rain
Flowing to the ocean
We all come from the Goddess
And to her we shall return
Like a drop of rain
Flowing to the ocean
We all come from the Goddess
And to her we shall return
Like a drop of rain
Flowing to the ocean
We all come from the Goddess
We all come from the Goddess
We all come from the Goddess
We all come from the Goddess
And to her we shall return
We all come from the Goddess
And to her we shall return
We all come from the Goddess
And to her we shall return
Like a drop of rain
Flowing to the ocean
We all come from the Goddess
And to her we shall return
Like a drop of rain
Flowing to the ocean
We all come from the Goddess
And to her we shall return
Like a drop of rain
Flowing to the ocean
We all come from the Goddess
And to her we shall return
Like a drop of rain
Flowing to the ocean
The ocean refuses no river, no river.
The ocean refuses no river, no river.
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah.
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah.
[from a Sufi chant]
I release and I let go
I let spirit guide my life
No more trouble, no more strife
‘Cause I’m only here for love
Yes, I’m only here for love
I am only here for love
My body is a living temple of love,
My body is a living temple of love.
My body is the body of the goddess,
My body is the body of the goddess.
My body is the body of the goddess,
My body is the body of the goddess.
Your body is a living temple of love,
Your body is a living temple of love.
Your body is the body of the goddess,
Your body is the body of the goddess.
Your body is the body of the goddess,
Your body is the body of the goddess.
[for men, can replace “goddess” with “horned one.”]
