RAPTURE
When we two become one
Like the Father and the Son
Fused by passion’s embrace
I’m carried to a heavenly place
Of complete bliss and exhilaration
“Sweet Jesus,” I cry out in exaltation
Captured within this rapture
I discover that paradise is for lovers
And in a divine God I do believe
For he sent an angel to earth
To make sweet love to me
