Lux Fiat - Libitina

Amongst love’s newly lost and fallen

In the pitch black of that so plaintive shore

I stood alone

Shaken to my core

When you answered to my hope-filled call

Lost to inward darkness

I was shutting down

You have opened a new way of life to me

I know I cannot fail you, from that fear I am free

A meeting of souls like this I have never known

And the most wonderful gift in the world is

For me to see it through your eyes

And when I’m with you

Sharing a loving gaze

The pain of past life

It just dies

A taste of the divine lies in your kiss

You send my hopes soaring into the skies

I have been rescued from the hellish shore

By a love so splendid and pure

The joy of the world from you so strongly shines

To eyes grown unused to a glimmer of light

A radiance to eclipse stars of lesser might

And to show me in my search I was not blind

The reflection of my faithful love in your face

In beauty grows instead of distorting from the true

You see me as I see you

Feel in the same way too

In adoring you I know I’ll spend my days

And the most wonderful gift in the world is

For me to see it through your eyes

And when I’m with you

Sharing a loving gaze

The pain of past life

It just dies

A taste of the divine lies in your kiss

You send my hopes soaring into the skies

I have been rescued from the hellish shore

By a love so splendid and pure

To a heart which up to now has only been lent

You have brought perfection where life was flawed

No longer bowed by fate

I can stand tall

You have given me a power I had thought spent

With a love untarnished

You have granted me

The strength to escape a life grown narrow

My soul from limbo has now been harrowed

And my former joy I know I will set free

And the most wonderful gift in the world is

For me to see it through your eyes

And when I’m with you

Sharing a loving gaze

The pain of past life

It just dies

A taste of the divine lies in your kiss

You send my hopes soaring into the skies

I have been rescued from the hellish shore

By a love so splendid and pure

I knew when first I looked upon you

That this was the end of my heart’s search

And I have not the slightest doubt for

All eternity our love will last
