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
