Under Your Shadow

Bear me
Under your shadow
Sweet as night
No light can pierce me through
Nobody sees me 
As you do

Stand now
Bloodless, unburdened
Drained of fear
No more must we be shamed for
The dread behind 
Our tears

Hear me, trust me
See me, love me
Fear me, judge me
I love you

Who else can know
        (Hear me)
All of your pain
        (Trust me)
Who do you know
        (See me)
Could carry their shame
        (Love me)
As long as you have
        (Fear me)
But never again
        (Judge me)

For I
        ( I )
Am filled by endless love
        ( Love )
And suffering for you
        ( You )

Hear me! 
See me!

Who but I knows
God’s true gift
What thin black crape 
Her love portends
With hearts agape
Come souls afflicted 
I shall fill your house with all 
Her cold and hollow truth

    (Bear me
    Under your shadow
    Sweet as night)

No light shall pierce us through
No one shall love you
     (Nobody loves me)
As I do
     (As you do)

Trust me
Fear me
