 1 

All the meetings Christ appointed

And attended here on earth

Were apart from all religion,

All its rituals, forms, and dearth.

Resurrection, not religion,

Must be our reality;

Let us meet in resurrection,

From all dead religion free.

 
 2 

When the Lord was resurrected,

All religious things were through;

Christ is now our living temple,

Christ is all our offerings too.

With our Lord in resurrection,

Hallelujah, we're released!

Pity all the old religion —

All our meetings are a feast!

 
 3 

Yet religion — oh, how subtle —

In our blood is hiding out;

God must give us revelation,

All that unseen monster rout.

Lord, we still are too religious —

Down with our religious soul!

We would all release our spirit,

Let each meeting reach the goal.

 
 4 

In the meetings, in the meetings,

On the mountain, at the shore,

Jesus, Jesus, living Jesus,

He is here — what want we more?

Bury all the old religion,

Even Christianity —

Jesus, Jesus, we have Jesus,

He is our reality!
