Steadfast Love

Though others tried to spark a fire, You hold the eternal flame; Though others scorned my heart's desire, Your acceptance took my shame. Though others changed from day to day, You remain the same; Though others rallied for undue praise, Your honor brings me fame. Though others played my heart and soul, You steal... win the game; Though others tried to put me in holds, Me, only your heart can tame. Though others wouldn't belong to me, You even wanted my name; Though others condemned me within, Your response took my blame. Though others neglected my words in action, You, my attention became; Though others placed me beneath themselves, Your stedfast love overcame.
