Holy Host

A still and quiet voice, you whispered
"You're not like the other boys,"
And though that may be true
I don't think that I had another choice
But let's talk about you
I wanna know what you get into
Like, when you breathe into your lungs
Do you exhale in the angels' tongues?

I saw a flame over your head
We kissed and then went where the spirit led
Underneath the overhang
Your words were outpaced by the falling rain
And I felt the same–
There's somethings you don't have to explain
It's buried underneath the text
Like the ecstasy of Saint Teresa

But it ain't no secret
It was a whisper on the weather
And if you're quiet you can hear it
Like the moving of the holy spirit
I wasn't looking for a guarantee
Just wanna hear you say you want me
But if you call me then I will approach
Invoke me like the holy ghost

And then the word became the flesh
Your body declared on the manifest
Staring at the lion moon
I'm baptized, the fire burned in your eyes
And combusted into mine
We held it like it's hot to the touch
It was a name we never knew
But it descended on me like a dove

But it ain't no secret
It was a whisper on the weather
And if you're quiet you can hear it
Like the moving of the holy spirit
I wasn't looking for a guarantee
Just wanna hear you say you want me
But if you call me then I will approach
Invoke me like the holy ghost

Ah Ah Ah
Can't take it back, no
Can't take it back, no

Ah Ah Ah
Won't take it back, no
Won't take it back, no

Ah Ah Ah
Wouldn't take it back, no
Wouldn't take it back, no

Ah Ah Ah
I got your back, girl, and everybody knows

It ain't no secret
It was a whisper on the weather
And if you're quiet you can hear it
Like the moving of the holy spirit
I wasn't looking for a guarantee
Just wanna hear you say you want me
But if you call me then I will approach
Invoke me like the holy ghost
Take our love out on the road
Easter sunday, coast to coast
You're the one I love the most
Hallelujah, Host of Hosts
