No Turning Back

release me,
put your words inside me,
i will change, and place all my desires behind me,
i will open love's door, i will face my pain,
only in my ignorance have i hid in shame,
what lies behind, what lies ahead,
moving forward in you, my past is dead,
no turning back the hands of time,
there is no claim in life, nothing is mine,
it all belongs to you, down to the breath that i breathe,
the only true thing in my heart i believe,
in vain i have turned in so many directions,
to find love at its depth, to find love in perfection,
there is no such thing,
at least not here on earth,  
the only true thing is our salvation's rebirth,
oh how i can finally see you now,
i am no longer lost....in you i have found,
love and mercy beyond my means,
your beauty i can see in everything,
