Heavenly Night

I.
Oh my sweet Heavenly night,
with angels in my eye’s pure sight-
Take me to a place of charming love
with flights of an ivory turtle dove,
I need your sincerity tonight.

II.
Where Cherubs sing in chorus,
and loved ones always adore us-
Where Seraphims harp a tune, 
and no one is immune. 
This passion is here for us. 

Chorus
Oh, save me with wings of gold, 
and take me to have and to hold-
When I’m down may you take me in, 
to feel the warmth you feel within-
And when my day’s full of sin, 
this heavenly night shall begin. 

III.
Oh, my sweet Heavenly night,
where all the darkness turns to light-
I’ve seen moments of prevailing dust, 
now tonight compassion is a must.
I’ve given up the God-awful fight, 
and have been saved by this heavenly night.

Chorus
Oh, save me with wings of gold, 
and take me to have and to hold-
When I’m down may you take me in, 
to feel the warmth you feel within-
And when my day’s full of sin, 
this heavenly night shall begin. 
                  .....I've been saved by this heavenly night.

Laura, an absolutely gorgeous spiritual hymn, singing the praises of heaven and the eternal place of light and love that it is. Lush, lyrical lines of lovely, ethereal imagery.. beautiful. Good luck in the contest!
