Touched By God [Intro — whispered / dark temple] Touched by God Down in my bones Fire in the body Light on the throne [Verse 1 — rap / low and sensual] I walk in the room and the candles lean closer Holy in my hips, but my spirit stays sober Dark gold aura, velvet on the flame I don’t need permission to remember my name I was not made to be numb in my skin I was made for the Presence to enter within Breath like incense, pulse like a drum I feel the Divine where my life-force runs No shame in the rising, no fear in the heat My body is scripture when my soul takes the seat I don’t split heaven from the flesh anymore God touched the clay and the clay became door [Pre-Chorus — sung / hypnotic] Slow breath Deep glow Sacred current Down low Heart open Eyes clear The holy is not far The holy is here [Chorus — powerful / dark devotional] I’ve been touched by God In the dark, in the flame In the pulse of my body In the truth of my name I’ve been touched by God In the breath, in the blood In the holy desire Rising up like a flood I am not ashamed I am not afraid I am the altar Where the light was made Touched by God Touched by God Body like a temple Soul like a rod [Verse 2 — rap / erotic temple] There’s a serpent of wisdom moving through my spine Not temptation, initiation, ancient and divine Every breath pulls the veil from the room Every heartbeat blooms like a rose in the tomb I want love with reverence, hands that can pray Even when they’re tracing the stars where I lay Eyes that don’t take, but behold and receive A sacred kind of hunger that knows how to breathe This is not sin, this is soul in motion Dark temple devotion, body as ocean I let the current rise, I let the blessing land Heaven knows my skin like the lines in my hand [Pre-Chorus — sung / hypnotic] Slow breath Deep glow Sacred current Down low Heart open Eyes clear The holy is not far The holy is here [Chorus — powerful / dark devotional] I’ve been touched by God In the dark, in the flame In the pulse of my body In the truth of my name I’ve been touched by God In the breath, in the blood In the holy desire Rising up like a flood I am not ashamed I am not afraid I am the altar Where the light was made Touched by God Touched by God Body like a temple Soul like a rod [Bridge — spoken / ritual trance] This is the place Where prayer becomes sensation Where devotion becomes heat Where the body stops apologizing For being alive This is the place Where the shadow bows to love Where desire becomes clean Where the holy enters form And calls it good [Breakdown — rap / chant] Touch my breath Touch my fire Touch my truth Touch my desire Touch my heart Touch my voice Touch my yes Touch my choice No shame No fear No exile God is here No mask No chain I bless The flame [Light Language Refrain] Ora kai, Shekinah Soma rei, ahava Ruah in, fire through Holy Presence making new Sha la mae, eli ora Dark gold flame, solara Ana ki, lumina Touched by God, hallelujah [Final Chorus — huge / ecstatic] I’ve been touched by God In the dark, in the flame In the pulse of my body In the truth of my name I’ve been touched by God In the breath, in the blood In the holy desire Rising up like a flood I am not ashamed I am not afraid I am the altar Where the light was made Touched by God Touched by God Body like a temple Soul like a rod [Outro — whispered] Touched by God And I remember The body is holy The flame is tender
