In the Bible, God's Wisdom is personified as a woman (though God chooses to represent Himself as a masculine entity), and Jesus refers to him in the feminine form several times.

@doubiesnax- Your reasoning is thoughtfully sound, but I highly doubt most of these lyricists have thought as deeply about that as you have. Furthermore, without completely claiming you're wrong about God being genderless, it stands to reason that God is far more likely to be male than female, mostly because He made Adam(a man) in His image and Eve(a woman) in Adam's image.

@mustang809 no God is definitely a spirit, not a man or a woman. I honestly don't get why a lot of people think he's like this human being. He's not a person, look it up if you don't believe me. That's one thing that a lot of people get wrong. @doubiesnax i agree with ur point though :3

@kaladin Probably cause
We get raised & born by women
Only women can create life & therefore It would make sense if god was a woman
But I dont believe in any gods whatsoever so yeah
Theres plenty of evidence to back up this claim
But im not here to convert anyone
Just like Professor Dawkins once said:
I dont want anyone to believe blindly in religion just cause they were born into it
I want you to choose your own decision whether u believe in god or not

Gorgeous song. Wonder why God is personified as a woman

That being said, mentioning God in the feminine form could be referring to God's Wisdom as a separate being in the song. Just a thought.
