 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!
