Loyalty To Thee

Oh finally, You have returned to my heart 
Yet, though, You were here from the start

I’ve cleared my heart from all but Thee 
So that Your love may reside within me

God, my savior, let this fallen rise up high 
Once again I beg You, to let my wings fly

He watches over my drunken Self in sleep, 
Drunk from spirituality, not the lower steep

Wine takes away your emotions and fears
In His arms, I have no weakness nor tears

For all of my tears are from joy and delight 
Nothing greater than to witness His might

They try to sway me away from You, my Love 
For they are fools, lost and blind from the above

How do they expect happiness without You? 
Do they think forgiveness is given when due?

My Lord, do You look upon me in the night? 
Will Your warm heart accept my little fright?

Hesitation is not an issue, for I shall not 
But in these terms, I might have a thought

This loyalty I present to You above all other 
In this path, all distraction I see as a bother

This heart is aching to meet Thy heavenly eyes 
Will His be warm? Will they be wide as the sky?

Once again this servant repeats to Thy loyalty 
So that all may know my True Love in honesty

I present to You 2 gifts, I wish it not a bother
My life in one hand and my head in the other
