Sacred Love Lyrics

Cover art for Sacred Love lyrics by Sting

The refrain: -"The spirit moves on the water" the miracle where Jesus walked on water. -"She takes the shape of this heavenly daughter" A seemingly ordinary girl becomes the Mother of God -- Mary. -"She's rising up like a river in flood" A river floods and can spread water to the surrounding land. I think this means that when Jesus was born, Mary was a river that spread the water of God over the world. Just what I think. -"The Word got made into flesh and blood" duh, the fulfillment of all the Old Testament prophecies that a Savior was coming. -"The sky grew dark, and the earth she shook/Just like a prophecy in the Holy Book" Jesus' death was prophesied in the Bible. The rest is self explanatory.
