I have trembled my way deep into surrender
I have stretched my aching body across the world
I have stood at the threshold of your wonder
Bid me enter, Lord, allow me to unfold

Lay your golden head upon my breast
Pierce me deep and usher me inside
Your threshold where I will eternal rest
My heart, my love, my Lord, my only bride

My heart, my love, my Lord, my one true bride
Sanctuary where the eternal yearning rest
Unpetal me and burst me open wide
And lay your shining head upon my breast
