Oh, my life was once my own
and the thing my heart would too me
that is the thing I would do.
Oh,  but how those dark shadows
grew within my soul
and my heart was forever hid
from the light of the sun
and oh how those shadows
penetrated into my bones
and I was chilled in my soul.
Oh, I was so sad
and I was so all alone.
Oh, how I was like a king
lying dead upon his throne.
Oh,  and then I saw your  lovely form
and so how you seemed like a light that shined from heaven.
Oh, how I treasure the memory
made upon that day
when I first called your name.
And then you like an angel
shined your love into my heart
and brought me back to life.
Oh, how the love of your arms
was a warm soothing salve to heal my soul.
And my heart rose  on eagle's wings
from its dark and icy cold grave
and my soul shall never again be the same.
Oh, if the words could only flow
like a river stretching into eternity
ever telling of my love I hold for you
and of all you charms
oh that river from my heart
would forever flow
for no words could ever tell of all my love for you.
Oh, you are like a flower
growing  upon the green fields of heaven
by the throne of God.
Oh, I know my heart will ever be yours
till time winds its way
through the halls of eternity
and the stars all burn away
and creation stands naked
before the heart of God.
