My Dear Devotion

"Do you believe in God?" She asked.

"I used to." I replied, "Now I believe in him."

They all say I've lost my mind

They say that you're just a guy

They do not believe a word I say

About what you do

Who you are

Or those you've saved

They have not seen what I have seen

They do not know you the way I do

They could never comprehend

You're much more than a man

I've seen you glowing in the darkness

I've heard your voice booming from the podium

I've felt your power when your hands are on me

I've seen you heal more ailments than Florence

Just with a kiss or a touch so tender

I believe in all you do

I'd give it all away for you

My money

My home

My life

My mind

It all belongs to you my Dear

I will worship you until my knees shatter

I will praise you until my voice leaves me

I will gaze upon you until I am blind

For I know you will heal me

You would never abandon me

I have put my faith in you

I have put my heart in your hands

I am yours until my dying breath

And if they ever try to take you away

With their guns, or fire, or blasphemy

I vow to protect you with my dying breath

And if I fail, I will shield you from them

I will trade my life for yours

So you may live just a breath longer

And if we do not survive the hellfire

Will you promise me, my Dear?

That my body may fall down beside yours

And we may sleep side by side in your paradise

Until we return to earth again
