Bakerwoman God by Tim Blickhan — Lyrics
Bakerwoman God, I am your living bread.
Strong, brown Bakerwoman God,
I am your low, soft and beingshaped loaf.
I am your rising bread,
wellkneaded by some divine
and knotty pair of knuckles,
by your warm earth hands.
I am bread wellkneaded.
Put me in fire, Bakerwoman God,
put me in your own bright fire.
I am warm, warm as you from fire.
I am white and gold, soft and hard,
brown and round. I am so warm from fire.

About Bakerwoman God
This piece might be sung as a prayer for a service of Holy Communion or as a meditative reflection on the eucharistic sacrifice. The English text uses the metaphor of baking and bread to explore the relationship between the believer and God, evoking imagery of creation, transformation through suffering, and ultimate union. The composer Tim Blickhan sets this text for SSA voices, creating a devotional work that invites introspection and spiritual connection. The music aims to convey the profound themes of divine love and self-offering inherent in the lyrics, encouraging a deep and personal engagement with the text's spiritual message.
