lyrics

BLUES FOR MEISTER ECKHART

Meister Eckhart, is the blues about a man of God
Meister Eckhart, a Middle Ages German Friar
But then The Pope cracked down and said,
“You’re preachin’ ways have got you barred”

Meister Eckhart, preachin’ to the souls of men
Meister Eckhart, a wiser man has never been
But then The Pope cracked down and said,
“You’re preachin’ ways are now condemned”

Now if “Thank You” is the only prayer in your life, that will be just fine Every creature is a word of God, on that there ain’t no denying

Meister Eckhart, walked the 500 miles to his trial
Meister Eckhart, stood before The Pope in denial
But when the verdict came down,
Meister Eckhart could not be found

Now if “Thank You” is the only prayer in your life, that will be just fine Nobody at any time is cut off from God, on that you can rely.

(Anything that we know or are able to impart or that we can define, that is not God: for in God is neither this nor that which we can abstract nor has he limitation)

Meister Eckhart, is the blues about a man of God
Meister Eckhart, affluent in the mystic arts
And when Meister Eckhart died, he laid down in the Ground of God
When Meister Eckhart died, he laid down in the Ground of God
