Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Heart and soul I am yours.
Can't you see it my eyes?
Can't you hear it in my sighs?
I'm yours.
I'm yours,
Every kiss says I'm yours.
I'm a victim of your charms,
I'm yours.
My life and my love, dear,
Are yours to command.
I stand here before you,
My heart in my hand.
I'm yours,
All the world knows I'm yours.
And I only hope and pray
That someday I'll hear you say,
"I'm yours!"
My life and my love, dear,
Are yours to command.
I stand here before you,
My heart in my hand.
My life and my love, dear,

Well I’ll get straight to the point: do you think you are a good person? You might have thought about it before, or you might have not. But your answer is probably yes. Now the rest of this might get personal, but remember, I can’t see-or hear you reading this, so don’t worry. Now let’s have a look at the Ten Commandments. You don’t have to believe in the Bible to take this quiz:
Have you ever stolen something? Yes no
Have you ever looked with lust? Yes no
Have you ever used the Lord/Jesus/Christ/God’s Name as a swear word? Yes no
Have you ever told a lie? Yes no
You probably answered Yes to, at least, two of those. There are six more. A bit of math would tell you that (10 divided by 2 =5) , out of the Ten Commandments, on average you probably answered Yes to five of them. Do you still think you are a good person? Now I’m doing this because I care about you. You could die at any moment. Your heart may stop right now. And I’d like to see all of you in Heaven. I don’t want you to go to…to...to...to…what was it again? Was it perhaps hell? We have all sinned. Nobody is perfect or worthy in God’s sight. In fact, the only way our sins could be forgiven, was if we offered sacrifices practically every day. We all sin every day. We look with lust, we lie, we blaspheme, we swear and we steal without giving it a second thought. Imagine all those sin and guilt offerings we would have to offer… but we don’t have to. Because God sent His one and only Son Jesus, to die for us on the cross as THE sin offering so that whoever BELIEVES in Him will be forgiven and have eternal life. He took all the sins that will ever be on Himself. He paid the price; i.e. He’s the Person who paid the fine for the stack of offences on the Judges(God’s) desk, so He could let you go. That is how great His Love and Mercy for you is. He has no reason to spare you, apart from His abounding Love and Mercy. You just have to accept His forgiveness, repent, get baptised and turn to Him. You have been warned. Do not reject Him.

Ps: your life-span on this earth is nothing compared to eternity. Just remember that. Is your soul safe…?
PPS: Let the Lord sanctify you. And read a Bible at least once a day, even if it’s just one chapter.

Big, powerful voice. Love this version. Cornell was a top shelf singer.
