Muscle Blood and Bone

From beyond the clouds to the heavens above.
You’ve blessed us all with your grace and love.
You show us every second of the day.
How much you care and with us you’ll stay.

With each blade of grass and the countless stars.
I have no doubt of who I am and who you are.
You are beautiful, courageous and steady.
Because of your sacrifice and loyalty, I will always stand ready.

Your crucifixion was a testament to your love and bravery.
Your torture under Pontius Pilate and the harsh bonds of slavery.
I will never backdown and I will never disown.
You are my savior, you have my muscle, blood and bone.
