Safe
Chris Taylor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Take my life
It's a spark
It's only you and you alone
That I want to get to know
It's in your arms
I am safe
Ever only all for Thee
It's in your arms I am safe
Jealousy as cruel
As the grave is cruel
And its flames
Are flames of fire

Line by Line Meaning
Set me as a seal upon your heart
Keep me close to you and never let me go
Take my life
Let me give all of myself to you
It's a spark
My life is but a small flame without you
It's only you and you alone
There is no one else in the world for me but you
That I want to get to know
I desire to fully understand everything about you
It's in your arms
I feel protected and secure when I am with you
I am safe
I am free from harm and worry when I am with you
Every knee will come and bow
Everyone will one day recognize your greatness
Ever only all for Thee
All of my life and devotion is for you
Jealousy as cruel
The emotion of envy can be extremely hurtful
As the grave is cruel
Just as death is harsh and unforgiving
And its flames
The passion of this feeling
Are flames of fire
Burning strong and consuming all else
