about

This is a worship/love song for one of my best friends.
I rewrite some lyrics, but the chorus is an old christian worship song from before I came out as trans and lost that part of my life. I was always seeking community to feel safe, and I'm so glad I have that now.

lyrics

Archive of holy light
You always notice
The crows talking back

God cries they shrine
The beauty
Oh in your smile

And the spotlight on your chin tonight
So proud of the hair that you’ve grown
So steadily building a home

So I’ll prepare me to be a sanctuary
(Kind) and holy
Tried and true
(like a sibling)
I’ll be a living
Sanctuary for you

Your eyes so heavy while they shine
Through a burden
That rots from the inside

But I find when your hands in mine
And our lovers stood at our side

That Everytime we get together
We’re answering some little prayer
Little rats with good reason to fear
Little birds with good reason to care

So I’ll prepare me to be a sanctuary
(Kind and holy
Tried and true
(like a sibling)
I’ll be a living
Sanctuary for you
