When I Get To Heaven lyrics

At times our ideas of God have served us well. They have

been quoted as the inspiration for acts of incredible

benevolence. Conversely, they have been used as the

inspiration for acts of horrible cruelty and terrible

violence as man has contemplated his place in the universe.

Holy wars, crusades, jihads, these are some of the darkest,

most violent acts of aggression mankind has committed unto

himself, and they were all done in the name of his

religions.

These are the choices for behavior, individuals have made.

These are the acts of violence we reject, yesterday, today

and forever.

Where have our concepts of God failed us, it is at the

point which one creation is asked to harm another, it is at

the time when our concept of God is held above another. It

is at the time when our weakness as mortal beings with a

finite view of forever cannot conceive of unending, pure,

infinite, unconditional love.

Now is the time to more forward in a positive and peaceful

manner, as we embrace the merging of intelligence and

spirituality and more together into a space of higher

consciousness and future of seemingly unimaginable

possibilities, and abandon our tiny concepts of God before

we destroy one another forever....
