Love Saved Me by Melissa ArelLife became so difficult
but not harsh
It became chaos lost in my mind
My eyes covered
by a thick blackness
Fog dimming my heart
Felt dead
Almost lost forever
But Love came and saved me
Kept me away
My innocence
not lost but tainted
Can never be washed away
by water
But cleansed
through blood
My blood isn't sufficient
isn't pure
It took a holy man to wake me up
He took the pain
for a dead girl
Bore hell for me
And now I belong to Him
Love saved me
Jesus Christ saved me
