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
