Extol - Gloriana

you are sweet as wheat
and white as wool
the depth of your eyes
goes deep into the night
i want to embrace you
let myself go
into your tender kiss
with hands inviting me
you move with wedded bliss
oh, place your hand
on my soul
your name be gloriana
touch me still
for by grace be you only
you are
and your name be gloriana
your calm ways clear my mind
drive me towards you
you protect me from myself
your breath inspirits me
your hair blows through my face
you remove it from my lips
your name be gloriana

Nothing wrong with Christian metal.

@napoliondynamite Haha! I can totally understand that. The thing is, aren't kissing and sex etc... physical expressions of closeness and communion with another? In the same way, they are used to convey a closeness and communion and a "being one with" in the Spirit! Like for instance Christ's people are called his bride and He is the bridegroom. Its a little weird (and gay if you're a dude) IF you look at it from the purely physical, but beautiful if it represents the Spiritual!

Yeah, I remember taking a course on Chaucer and the femininity of the christian convert is something that is so puzzling to our time period. It's quite hilarious if you ask me.

I freaking love this song :)

[lambofgodofwariz]

Some of the poetry of St. John of the Cross is a lot like this as well, like the Spiritual Canticle...

@SpayceMunkye6464 in the bible we are called the bride of christ

[isaiahperrry]

The best on solidstate records, why did they have to go away? I suppose there is still Becoming the archetype, and Oh, sleeper.

@DeathRattleShakes ive been a christian for almost 5 years and have never heard of christians being refered to as christs bride.........

But still, it should not be weird to someone who is gay unless they are completely close-minded to the concept.
