Out of love Out of compasion When I was reading in the book of light This touched my soul, I stayed awake all night The written Word was in my thoughts The truth I heard opened up my heart You were lead like a lamb to slaughter And as you bled, hell got hotter And as I read my emotions were shattered As I envisioned your body battered Out of love Out of compasion You turned Your light on me To end my misery Out of love Out of compasion I found I needed you No one else will do When I was walking in the valley of the shadow It was cold, it was a battle Word on the street was the code to live by But now I know it was the way to die You were led like a lamb to slaughter And as you bled hell got hotter
