Out Of Love

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
