Living In My Own Religion Testo

I wish that I could put into words
How much you mean to me
And I wish that I could tell you
How much you have helped me
To live my life so unselfishly, Lord
My parents raised me up
To always live inside your shadow
But I must admit there were times
Some times when I would stray
But now I'm LIVING IN MY OWN RELIGION
And it's there that I shall always stay
When I was just a boy I would hear the songs of praise
The Swan Silvertones & The Harmonizing Four
And though these were not my people
Somehow I felt captured in your gaze
And from that moment on - I never thought in terms like that Anymore
Ya see, no man's color could corrupt my vision
Once I was bathed in the Glory of Your Love
But I seek no House of Worship to praise your name
Yes I'm LIVING IN MY OWN RELIGION
But I worship you Lord just the same
My friends may call me up on Sunday morning saying:
Come along with us to church & we will pray...
No no you see I'm already in my House of Worship
And it is there I believe I'll always stay
So take me as I am
With my love of God intact
And I will serve you Lord
Til I've sung my last song
I will praise you every morning
And I will thank you God each night
And though some may scorn me
We both know just where I belong
My house will always be my church
You know my temple is my mind
And I will worship You while others misunderstand
Cause I'm LIVING IN MY OWN RELIGION
That's what I'm doin' now
I'm LIVING IN MY OWN RELIGION
But I'll always know we're hand in hand
