Lyrics
[verse]
They tell me love's a sin I should confess
Kneel at an altar built to make me less
But when you touch me I feel something true
More sacred than the sermons ever knew
[verse]
They preach devotion wrapped in old control
Try to put a leash around my soul
But you're the only gospel I believe
The only faith that never made me grieve
[chorus]
So take me where the real religion lives
In your arms, in what your kindness gives
Not in the shame they taught me every day
You're the only heaven I obey
[verse]
Let them judge the way we bow and kneel
Let them fear the way this love can heal
I'd rather burn in something honest here
Than freeze in silence, choking down my fear
[chorus]
So take me where the real religion lives
In your arms, in what your kindness gives
Not in the shame they taught me every day
You're the only heaven I obey
[bridge]
No gods above could ever understand
The kind of grace I found in your hand
So let the choir sing whatever hymn they choose
I've got my own communion, nothing left to lose
[chorus]
So take me where the real religion lives
In your arms, in what your kindness gives
Not in the shame they taught me every day
You're the only heaven I obey
[outro]
You're the only church I need
