Story behind the song
My love for my wife Anne Marie motivated me to write this song. I was also thinking that there hasn't been a good song that combines religious imagery with the intimacy of marriage since "With You I'm Born Again" back in the 70's.
Lyrics
1. When you touch me, I feel the hand of God In the quiet of the night Tender embraces, amazing graces When two are gathered in His name, He is there Loving you is a prayer. 2. When you kiss me, I feel the fire of God, As our lips speak wordless truths. Passion and pleasure, marriage’s treasure, When two are gathered in His name, He is there Loving you is a prayer. Bridge: This blessed gift we share Is a glimpse of what is waiting where God wants us to spend eternity. 3. When you hold me, I know the love of God In your gentle, open arms. Life-giving union, loving communion When two are gathered in His name, He is there Loving you is a prayer.
