Yet Lovely

from Labor Pains by sinai vessel

/

lyrics

i will wrestle with ghosts
until the sun plays host in the sky.
You will ask me my name,
to which i will say: "deceiver."

--

dark am i, yet lovely.
bronzed by the merciless sun of the desert
where You taught me how to listen
to Your voice.
the mark of bareness upon my skin--
a reminder of where we begin
to fall in deeper love again.

and it's here, it's here that i will sing
i'll sing like the innocent, the free
the beloved, the betrothed…
and it's here, it's here that i will sing
i'll sing like the innocent, the free
the beloved, the betrothed to thee.

intimacy:
the act of reaching that warms
the darkest parts of me.
everything loved, adored and understood.
the heaviness of breath, the communion,
and the closeness.
dark am i,
yet lovely to Your eyes.

You're the first and the last love i've known.
You're the first and the last song i've sung.
