The Bible mostly talks about God in a masculine and paternal context. You have God the Father (a male image), God the Son (a male image), and God the Holy Spirit (genderless, and without any human-like identity). But the Bible occasionally runs into the limits of masculine imagery when describing God, and uses feminine and maternal imagery instead. For example, the Bible both refers to God as a nursing mother, or as having a womb.
lyrics
God our Father
Giver of daily bread
Blessing our hands and covering our heads.
God our mother
Leading us into peace
Blessing and comforting all those in need
Hallowed, hallowed be thy name
Hallowed, hallowed be thy name
Hallowed, hallowed be thy name in all the earth
Jesus, Brother
Guiding our every step
Deliver us and grant places of rest
Jesus, Savior
Grabbing us from the grave
Cheating the fall and breathing the light of day

It may not be a full-fledged LP, but All Delighted People is probably my favourite of Sufjan's works. Without an overaching album theme to tie the songs together, it felt like Sufjan was free to experiment on each track and give them their own unique sound. And because of that (and Sufjan's talent), every track on there is a standout track. Angkasawan
