[Verse 1]
Give me grace
Make me pure
When they're knocking at my door

Make me pure
[Verse 2]
I will not take
When I fall
Be the answer to my call

I will wage his war is won
Make me pure
[Chorus]
No god, no king
I said love is the fing
No crown, no ring
I said love is the fing
No god, no king
I said love is the fing
[Verse 3]
Give me grace
Give me light
Hold me up as I take flight
Make me safe
Away from harm
Please caress my swollen heart
Make me pure
[Verse 4]
I'll be your hands
I'll be your spine
I will hear your burdened cries
I will give myself to you
[Chorus]
No god, no king
I said love is the fing
No crown, no ring
I said love is the fing
No god, no king
I said love is the fing
