Oh, only in your arms
am I able to find my rest
as though I were a child
rocked to sleep
by a loving mother.
Oh, in this world
all full of noise and bluster
where I am blown to and fro
like a bird in a storm
and savaged deep in my soul
I find my shelter in your arms.
Oh, then I can forget
the storm that rages around me.
Oh, salvation you give to my heart
and my life I can live again
finding my life
in the love within your arms.
Oh, how the words of love
that fall from your lips
and your warm kisses
fine like some ancient wine
are a healing balm
to my soul
binding up my wounds
and causing all my dark memories
to flee.
Oh, let me live
within your  heart
and you in mine
through all the rolling ages of eternity
till the world fades away
like a garment grown old.
Oh, and then love
for all the forevers  to come.
