Redemption

Believed not your love eternal,
Or your company forever;
Your kindness endless, or
To chase me from loneliness.
Fool I was for not believing
Now spring’s at my door,
Your love in my veins;
Your scent fills the day,
O, you color my life.
I am drunk with your kindness.
Cede my soul, I do, kindly
On faith I’ll follow you, blindly;
To where mine ends,
And your world begins.
I pledge my every breath,
To say your name;
Every thought of you,
To fill my minutes.
My salvation is at your mercy.
To prove my love, I’ll say,
Your name night and day;
Tellin’ you of my aches,
And then of my pains.
Reward me with peace and happiness.
Mired in day's routine,
I turn cold and alone I am,
What you had offered,
All that I needed, I abandoned. I whisper not your name,
I keep my pledge not
Misery be my guest
Love so desired is not
Forgive me,
Dare I ask;
Heaven, dare I enter;
Redemption, will I have?
Resurrection, ashes of my soul,
Purified in flames of absolution;
Thousand times to cleanse my soul,
I shall set fires to recover your love.
