  • I've got seven ways of going, seven where's to be
    Seven sweet disguises, seven ways of serving Thee
    Lord, I do extol Thee, for Thou has lifted me
    Woke me up and shook me out of mine iniquity
    Oh, I was undulating in the lewd impostered night
    Steeped in a dream to rend the seams to redeem the rock of right

    Swept through the seas of Galilee and the Seven Hills of Rome
    Seven sins were wrung from the sight of me
    Lo I turned my neck toward home
    Ah, I opened up my arms to You, and we spun from life to life
    `Til you loosened me and let me go toward the everlasting light

    In this big step I am taking seven seizures for the true
    I got seven ways of going, seven ways of serving You

    As I move through seven levels
    As I move upon the slate
    As I declare to you
    The number of my moves
    As I speculate the eighth
    Seeking love without exception
    A light upon the swarm
    Seeking love without exception
    A saint in any form Writer/s: IVAN KRAL, JAY DEE DAUGHERTY, LEONARD J KAYE, PATTI SMITH, RICHARD A SOHL
