Description
From Chapter 31, “Soul to Soul,” of It’s Impossible by J H McIntosh — Act II: Soul to Soul.
If your soul has never been touched by another's you will dismiss the premise of this chapter. You are forgiven, Aaron would have dismissed such a notion before Belle. But he’s in a quiet, sacred space where connection transcended words and touch, offering a tender reminder of the profound peace that comes from recognizing another’s spirit. It’s a reflection of an intimate moment of understanding that doesn’t demand anything but simply “being”. Listening is a chance to feel the depth of love’s gentle power, a soulful embrace that quietly honors the miracle of being truly seen.
Lyrics
What on God’s good earth happened yesterday?
You touched my collar, and I lost my way.
No flame, no claim, no body’s role,
Just something holy moving soul to soul.
I felt your hands where my breath forgot its name,
A quiet fire rising without a flame.
You stood so near, and the room grew small,
I had to step away before I’d fall.
Three steps away and tears broke free,
Like something ancient had awakened in me.
I cried for reasons I could not explain,
A sacred joy disguised as pain.
Soul to soul, deeper than desire,
Soul to soul, quieter than fire.
No touch, no claim, no spoken plea,
Just the deep in you answering the deep in me.
Soul to soul, without a sign,
Yesterday your soul hugged mine.
I searched for words, but language failed,
Every human definition paled.
Love felt too small for what I knew,
When my soul stood still and recognized you.
Why must I know why?
Why must I name the sky?
Some things God lets us feel,
Before He lets us understand why.
I thought closeness had to come through skin,
I thought touch was where love entered in.
But yesterday shattered what I thought I knew,
When my soul bowed down in the light of you.
Soul to soul, deeper than desire,
Soul to soul, quieter than fire.
No touch, no claim, no spoken plea,
Just the deep in you answering the deep in me.
Soul to soul, beyond all time,
Yesterday your soul hugged mine.
I loved before the only way I knew,
With gifts, with words, with flesh as proof.
But standing there, I learned that day,
Two souls can meet where bodies stay away.
If this is love, it has no chain,
If this is joy, why does it ache like pain?
If this is holy, let it be,
The miracle God entrusted me.
Soul to soul, deeper than desire,
Soul to soul, quieter than fire.
No touch, no vow, no guarantee,
Just the deep in you answering the deep in me.
Soul to soul, by God’s design,
Yesterday your soul hugged mine.
Some love is given, not to be repaid,
But to honor the miracle God has made.
I’ll carry it gently, one breath at a time,
Soul to soul…
Your soul hugged mine.
