Cast Off Your Garment
Cast off your garment.
Hide nothing from me.
Naked I lie before you;
May your body be as bare
That I can know every whit of you,
That you can learn of me;
Let your weakness be your strength
On this night we have wed.
Cast off your garment.
Be vulnerable with me.
Naked I lie before you;
May your soul be as bare
That I can know every whit of you,
That you can learn with me-
Every strength and all our weaknesses;
Let's share as we are led.
Cast off your garment.
Become one with me.
Naked I lie before you;
May your spirit be as bare
That I can know every whit of you,
That you can learn of me;
This my weakness is my strength
As we join upon our bed.
