“Love Your God” is recent Jewish convert Alex Blue’s reflection on the role that God has played in her life and how the concept was weaponized against her as a gay woman. It uses one of the Jewish names for God, Adonai, which literally means “My Lord” in Hebrew.
[Verse 1:]
I was seven years old
When I was told
Pray to God, so you can love your God
And when life got cold
I was told
Pray to God, so you can love your God
It was always my fault if I hurt
Praying somehow made it worse
But I've heard it said in new ways
And I have hope for a new day
[Chorus:]
Love your God with every heartbeat
I have always wondered what it means
Adonai, our God is with me
So I'm going to use my hymns and feet
Loving God is loving others free
[Verse 2:]
I have seen the flames
And ashes too
So I move
Because I love my God
In the sound of pain
That rings like truth
So I move
Because I love my God
[Bridge:]
And when you hear them, crying outside your door
Let them know they're not alone anymore
They are haunted, Adonai Elohaya
And I hope for a new day
[Chorus:]
Love your God
I have always wondered what it means
Adonai, our God is with me
So I'm going to use my hymns and feet
Loving God is loving others free
Mmmhmm, mhhhmmm...
Loving God is loving others free
Mmmhmm
[Chorus:]
Love your God with every heartbeat
I have always wondered what it means
Adonai, our God is with me
So I'm going to use my hymns and feet
'Cause loving God is loving others free
