Lord's Prayer - pagan version

I did NOT write this but I think it is absolutely awesome.


Our Mother whose body is Earth
Hallowed be thy 10,000 names.
Thy Queedom come, our wombs be one
As women, let us Remember!
Give us each day food to nourish
And forgive us our trespasses,
As we strive to heal ourselves and the planet.
Lead us unto Your many pleasures
And deliver us from oppression.
For Thine is the wisdom, the power and the beauty
For ever and ever!
So mote it be!

Help me find this song

I've transcribed most of the lyrics. Sadly Google is not helping. If there is a way for me to post the mp3 file, let me know. It is a gospel / r&b song by a group of ladies with the rap done by a guy. Song title may be "I'm Free."


Chorus:
I'm free, I'm free
so glad I'm free
from the pain and misery
from the chains that were holding me, oh!


I'm free, I'm free
so glad I'm free
never thought that my life would be so beautiful
I'm free

what was I supposed to do
I was hurting and so confused
so I figured I should talk to you
cuz I thought that you showed me what to do - I
really didn't wanna live
I had nothing else to give
but you showed me a brighter day
came into my life and now

I'm free, I'm free
so glad I'm free
from the pain and misery
from the chains that were holding me, oh!

chorus:
I'm free, I'm free
so glad I'm free
never thought that my life would be so beautiful
I'm free

I used to think that I had some friends
but they turned their backs again
they laughed at the pain I'm in
here we go again
but I kept on prayin'
I didn't know what to do
but you came and you pulled me thru
just in time and now I say ???

chorus:
I'm free, I'm free
so glad I'm free
from the pain and misery
from the chains that were holding me, oh!


I'm free, I'm free
so glad I'm free
never thought that my life would be so beautiful
I'm free

bridge:
without you lord I can never be eternally free
I'm so incomplete
I know I can ??? as long as you stay in my heart
never be apart

rap: (not transcribed yet)
Chorus x 2

4th Kemetic epagomenal day - Auset/Isis

Auset is one of my favorite goddesses. She is the goddess of motherhood among other things. Her name means throne and her headdress depicts this. Auset is well-versed in magic. A famous statue of Auset shows her and her son Horus the Younger which was Christianized into Mary and Jesus.

3rd Kemetic epagomenal day - Set/Seth


Set is one of the darker gods. Some think that this is where the notion of Satan came from. He killed his brother Wesir due to jealousy. Set is the god of storms, desert, darkness, and chaos. Set is depicted with a composite animal's head (known as the Set animal) and a human body.

1st Kemetic epagomenal day - Wesir/Osiris



Today is Wesir's birthday. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do. For right now, the fact that I'm aware and acknowledging it is good enough.
