Author Notes:
This song frames an intimate moment where desire and reverence blur, treating touch and breath as a slow, accumulating arc that reaches a cathartic, luminous release. She kneels with deliberate motion, directing each cadence like a practiced musician while his voice breaks into urgent refrains — equal parts surrender and command.

[Verse 1] 
I close my eyes — the room tilts; your shadow prays in candlelight.
Fingers find the margin where my name becomes a scripture (you kneel)
A slow benediction, breath like a hymn.
My chest — the chapel, your hands the only sermon I can feel.

[Pre-Hook 1] 
You fold the hush between us, into a promise.
You press your lips against the silence and I believe.

[Hook 1] 
On your knees (on your knees) 
Say my name until syllables raise in grand procession.
Make me speak — make me speak, in tongues,
Pull me closer to that small brilliant part of heaven.

[Chorus] 
Exploding — you hold me — two as one.
I feel holy where your hands have been — aching, true, undone.
Raise me with your solemn prayers, raise me to the place without a name.
Deafening waves crash pulling me toward the the open sky,
I sing — (I sing) my voice raised up on high!

[Verse 2] 
Your worship is precise as prayer; granting me wings as love preserves,
You move in minor keys of mercy; my world narrows, as I drink in your curves.
I taste benediction — your breath, a broken psalm.
You play me like an instrument, the music grown from holy palm.

[Pre-Hook 2] 
The air trembles, confession becomes a curve of sound.
My tongue seeks language, only our sacred mantra found.

[Hook 2]
On your knees (on your knees) 
Name me — call me, until I am a prayer you hold 
Make me speak — every syllable engraved within pure gold.

[Bridge]
Tongues ribbon — words ignite loves ember.
Your mouth transcends language — erasing reason,
I answer in the only tongue I know — gasping, your name, surrender.

[Chorus] 
Exploding — you hold me —
I rise beneath the arch of everything you fold around me, 
Heart pounding like beating drum — my thighs the cathedral to which you prayed. 
Sing me into mercy; sing me into loss (sing me into loss); sing me into heaven’s sweet parade.
Spent and gasping, we both lay prostrate upon the altar we made.

[Outro] 
(Stay) Stay — on your knees (stay), nails leave their mark, 
A hush moves across the choir; the candles lean into the dark.
I will keep the mercy, you keep the praise. 
On your knees, on your knees — lost within your gaze.
