Beloved
Sarah Reeves Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

At the table
By an empty chair
He lights the candle
In the feast he prepares for me
It's there my beloved waits for me
There my beloved waits me
It's there my beloved waits for me
Yeah he waits for me
He waits for me

In the chambers, of the secret place
He build an alter
And he falls to his knees,
For me
It's there my beloved prays for me
There my beloved prays for me
It's there my beloved prays for me
Yeah he prays for me
He prays for me

In the battlefield
Where the weapons were
He wears his armor
With his shield he defends,
Me
Ohh he's my defender
It's there my beloved fights for me
There my beloved fights for me
It's there my beloved fights for me
Yeah he fights for me
He fights for me
It's there my beloved fights for me
There my beloved fights for me
It's there my beloved fights for me
Yeah he fights for me
He fights for me

At the window of eternity
His eyes are watching
As he's singing over me





End
