lyrics

When I hold
my rosary
gently in my hands,
and weave my fingers
through the beads,

their perfume kiss,
on my fingertips
the scent of rose hips
fills my nose
and I know
you are with me.

But I want to feel you with me.
I want to feel your touch.
I want to feel your lips pressed to my face.
I want to feel myself tremble
under the weight of your thumb
merely grazing me with your grace.

Oh how my heart
has become a stone
cold, hard, and alone,
though you have shown
yourself to me before.

Oh how I pray,
that you'll come back again
that I might see your hands
that I might feel your
love wash over me.

I want to feel you with me.
I want to feel your warmth.
I want to feel myself cradled in your embrace.
I want to be immersed
in your abounding love.
I want to sing the glory of your name.

I want to feel you with me,
feel the breath of your ghost, and hear
your words like rainfall in the trees.
I want to cry the gospel,
and to kneel at your feet.
I need your love to rain down over me.

Rain down, rain down,
rain down your love over me.
Rain down, rain down,
heal my heart and set my soul free.

Jessica Gerhardt Los Angeles, California

Jessica Gerhardt is an LA-native singer-songwriter whose style ranges from intimate ukulele-driven folk to anthemic indie rock. Her writing follows after fiery femme rock artists like Fiona Apple and Alanis Morissette, but with a distinct spiritual bent, inspired by Sufjan Stevens and Audrey Assad. She hopes her music points beyond itself, to the transcendent, and that it uplifts and heals. ... more
