Your Jacket is red
It is the perfect substitute for your arms wrapped around my waist... Around me...
You envelop me in warmth and love, my dear
You are the man of my heart
However, this is a poem of recognition of another who owns my heart
There is a sanctuary built for Him as he lives in my heart peacefully
He walks beside me each day and He guides me to be like Him
He covers me in a jacket too...
A red jacket coated in His Blood
He has given me perfect freedom and perfect peace
He has loved me from the beginning of my life
As I was a child beckoned from her sleep
Awakened by the sound of this new day, This new life made to worship you
Jesus, there is a sacred sanctuary for you in my heart
Please dwell inside of me
And do not allow me to forget
The Jacket coated in Blood that you poured on my soul
You have set me free
May my heart never put another before You
My True Prince in Heaven
The Lover of my soul
I worship and praise your Holy Name
Jesus, Jesus,
Dwell in me forever.
