Love

Letra

I stand within the unquenchable flame Where shadows dwell and angels name The souls that pass, the gates that keep While thou art gone, where heavens sleep We watched the fallen chained below Before the stars began to glow Thou mine, and I was thine own hand The one who waits, the one who stands Thou walked the earth in flesh and breath And I was sent — the hand of death To lead thee home when days are done The bitterest command the Holy One Could ever speak, could ever call — That I must be thy final fall I am the sword that brings thee home The quiet dark where light shall come Though it breaks my heart to set thee free Still I bow — let it be as He decrees I am the gate, I am the end Thy last farewell, thy truest friend Through fire and grief, His will is done — I love thee more than the sun What am I, to question His design? He gave thee breath, and He made thee mine For a little while in dust we met And I shall love thee without regret If my hands must be the door to light Then I shall bless Him through the night I am the sword that brings thee home The quiet dark where light shall come Though it breaks my heart to set thee free Still I bow — let it be as He decrees I am the gate, I am the end Thy last farewell, thy truest friend Through fire and grief, His will is done — I love thee more than the sun I am the sword that brings thee home The quiet dark where light shall come Though it breaks my heart to set thee free Still I bow — let it be as He decrees I am the gate, I am the end Thy last farewell, thy truest friend Through fire and grief, His will is done — I love thee more than the sun
