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
