Skin & Sermon (version 2)

Verse

Palms turn upward, catching heat

Ribs keep time like a hollow drum

Sweat runs down like oil poured slow

Anointed by the bass to come

Every muscle reads like scripture

Skin the page the night writes on

Tongue stays quiet, body preaches

Testimony in the way I'm drawn

Pre-Chorus

Feel the bassline take the pulpit

Feel my spine become the aisle

Nothing spoken, all is spirit

Amen written in a smile

Chorus

Skin and sermon, hands up high

Body speaking, no need why

Sweat as blessing, bone as choir

Skin and sermon, take us higher

Verse

Shoulders roll like verses turning

Hips repeat the same refrain

Strangers nodding, all believing

Same religion, no name

Light comes down in fractured hymnbook

Shadows genuflect the floor

Every rep another blessing

Given, then given more

Pre-Chorus

Feel the bassline take the pulpit

Feel my spine become the aisle

Nothing spoken, all is spirit

Amen written in a smile

Chorus

Skin and sermon, hands up high

Body speaking, no need why

Sweat as blessing, bone as choir

Skin and sermon, take us higher

Bridge

No pulpit but the speaker stack

No choir but the crowd's own sound

We lay our hands on shoulders near us

Passing grace around, around

Chorus

Skin and sermon, hands up high

Body speaking, no need why

Sweat as blessing, bone as choir

Skin and sermon, take us higher
