  • I hear you breathe so far from me
    I feel your touch so close and real
    And I know
    My church is not of silver and gold
    It's glory lies beyond judgement of souls
    The commandments are of consolation and warmth

    You know our sacred dream won't fail
    The sanctuary tender and so frail
    The sacrament of love
    The sacrament of warmth is true
    The sacrament is you

    I hear you weep so far from me
    I taste your tears like you're next to me
    And I know
    My weak prayers are not enough to heal
    Oh the ancient wounds so deep and so dear
    The revelation is of hatred and fear

    You know our sacred dream won't fail
    The sanctuary tender and so frail
    The sacrament of love
    The sacrament of warmth is true
    The sacrament is you

    The sacrament is you
    The sacrament is you
    The sacrament is you
    The sacrament is you

    You know our sacred dream won't fail
    The sanctuary tender and so frail
    The sacrament of love
    The sacrament of warmth is true
    The sacrament is you

    You know our sacred dream won't fail
    The sanctuary tender and so frail
    The sacrament of love
    The sacrament of warmth is true
    The sacrament is you Writer/s: Ville Hermanni Valo
