These Things
e matte melrose
O Great Ape, free us from the chimp mind
You can see things we cannot
You can hear things we cannot
You can say things we cannot
Blessed is he who can do these things
O Great Ape, lead us from the bondage of the chimp mind
You are not like us, you are kind
You are not like us, you are fair
You are not like us, you are true
Blessed is he who can be these things
Let us praise you, O Great Ape, Lord of the one true mind
We beseech thee for your kindness
We beseech thee for your fairness
We beseech thee for your truthfulness
Blessed is he who can deliver these things
Behold, O Great Ape, forgive us our chimp mind, thy will be done
I will remember to be kind
I will remember to be fair
I will remember to be true
Blessed is I who believes these things
