God is a scent in the air,
Who fumigated Neptune with gases
To befriend Jupiter
To Assist Saturn in understanding it is holy ground
...To keep sinners away
God is a scent in the air
Mingled with the prayers of the saints
When smoke hopes to have peace from fires
It sings just before Sanctuary priests swing golden censers for the people’s penance
So eternity might remember when mankind was
Not a danger to anyone’s lungs
God is a scent in the air
Hugging nose hairs with covenants
Collected over time
Screaming cries of, “Why would you die?”
That Wisemen overheard and chased
After stars to find
Hold in their hands
And pour over a swaddled manchild
Who was always with them
God is a scent in the air
We will buy an alabaster box for
Fragile, expensive, pensive hopes
Which one man rejects
Is respected by another
Who is lightning and thunder all rolled into one
Whom we don’t want anyone to know we’re trying to love between brothel business ventures
And standing in church centers
But now everyone can smell Him sitting there.
God is a scent in the air
Indescribable when we explore the stars
Desirable while He atones our hearts
Reliable to un-par our miserable course
Undeniable; my Prince upon an ivory horse
God is a scent in the air
