Honey
King's Choir Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You speak of love and I turn it down
cause I'm not worthy of one touch of your holy crown

How soon I forget I have Your name
How soon I point out my deepest stains
I secretly doubt your love for me
But you show me the cross and gently say

You delight in me, I am adored, I am desired.
You cherish me, you count me as blessed.
You love me to death.

Oh...

You hold my hand and I pull away
cause I don't understand the depth of your warm embrace

How soon I forget I have Your name
How soon I point out my deepest stains
I secretly doubt your love for me
But you show me the cross and gently say

You delight in me, I am adored, I am desired.
You cherish me, you count me as blessed.
You love me to death.
I'm fully known and yet my king still loves me
I've been exposed and yet you speak to me softly
my deepest joy is found in you and you only
cause God, my God, you are as sweet as honey to me
You are as sweet as honey to me,
You are as sweet as honey to me.

You delight in me, I am adored, I am desired.

You cherish me, you count me as blessed.
You love me to death.
