To All Sacred Truth

Words & Music By Bryan Sirchio

I had a dream that a whole lot of holy ones that we’ve heard about in history
Were gathered ‘round One Table and they were sharing Sacred Truth
They were swapping favorite verses from teachings they’d be given
And there was not a single trace of an argument over anything about religion

And they were breaking bread and they were passing a Cup
And they were talking ‘bout the justice and the peace and the love
That runs through every vision that flows from the wisdom of the One

The first one to speak was Mohammed
And he was quoting from Hadith 32
He said, “There shall be no doing harm nor reciprocating harm” –he said it again,
He said, “There should be no doing harm nor reciprocating harm”

And then the holy ones spoke with one voice, they said Amen! Amen!
To all Sacred Truth we say, Amen!

Next up was Hebrew King David
Quoting Psalm 34, verse 17
He said, “The war horse is a vain hope for victory, and by its might it cannot save”
“The was horse is a vain hope for victory, and by its might it cannot save”

Chorus

Round and round these holy ones all shared their sacred wisdom
There were animists, and indigenous, and there were men and there were women
There were some I could not recognize and some I could not hear
But the Truth and Love that unified them all was crystal clear

And they were breaking bread and they were passing a Cup
And they were talking ‘bout the mercy and the grace and the love
That runs through every vision that flows from the wisdom of the One

And just before I woke I saw Jesus
He was deep conversation with two Sufis
Then all at once the three stood up and there by Jesus’ side
Were the Sufis poets Hafiz and Rumi

Then the three started dancing, perfect step, perfect time
And got that whole table singing Matthew 5, verse 9
“Blessed are the Peacemakers for they’ll be called the children of God”
“Blessed are the Peacemakers for they’ll be called the children of God

Chorus
