give me your hand
'cause i trust myself with it more than with my own
give me your heart
'cause god only knows i've spent so many years alone
and i know that i'm unclean
but know you're everything to me
put your hand on my chest
rest your forehead on mine
so i know i am blessed
so i know i'm divine
wrap your arms 'round my waist
keep me sheltered and warm
with forgiveness and grace
keep me safe from this storm
give me your touch
cast away every look that's been laid upon this frame
give me your gaze
like it's the only thing that could take away this pain
and i know that i'm unclean
but know you're everything to me
put your hand on my chest
rest your forehead on mine
so i know i am blessed
so i know i'm divine
wrap your arms 'round my waist
keep me sheltered and warm
with forgiveness and grace
keep me safe from this storm
give me your moon
hide me in the shadows of the deepest darkest night
give me your sun
bathe me in brilliance, caress me with holy light
and i know that i'm unclean
but know you're everything to me
put your hand on my chest
rest your forehead on mine
so i know i am blessed
so i know i'm divine
wrap your arms 'round my waist
keep me sheltered and warm
with forgiveness and grace
keep me safe from this storm
and god and her angels may be what the world sees as holy
but as for me, i see you only
and you know and i know that god cannot touch us here
so as for me, i feel no fear
put your hand on my chest
rest your forehead on mine
so i know i am blessed
so i know i'm divine
wrap your arms 'round my waist
keep me sheltered and warm
with forgiveness and grace
keep me safe from this storm
