Give me your hand, said Love

[usman_latif_ch]

Give me your hand, said Love
and I will take it all away,
I will give you joy for ashes,
a heart of beautiful array

So Sorrow looked upon him
her heart filled with death
Can Love possibly heal me?
she murmured in a whispering breath

Pain had always been her friend
Darkness is what she knows
Alone, who could ever want her
Her friend, Lonely, had told her so

But Love was so inviting
His warmth pulling her fro
I will love you as you are
To you my heart I want to show

So Sorrow stretched out to him
Hand-in-hand with Love
Take me from this place, she said
Beyond the clouds above

So Love finally embraced her
His beloved, that was she
Your name is no longer Sorrow, he said
It's Loved. You're loved by me
