Your love, divine (80’s New Romantic/Goth Lyrics)

1.
My heart said a benediction;
“Help me heal my souls affliction”.
Sorrow was once my addiction;
constant inner crucifixion.

2.

All I saw was man’s malfeasance;
for despair, one thousand reasons
but then my torment was ended
by your love, like starlight, splendid.

Chorus:

Your love, divine
was my deliverance.
My hearts your shrine;
it’s no mere limerence;
our souls entwined
in true and neverend-
ing love.

3.

Like an angel in a tempest;
you gave me shelter in your breast
took me out of a Gehenna
to love’s land of milk and manna

4.

Now I feel my life is sweetened
and my soul, once sorrow-beaten,
now refuses to be captured
by suff’rings, suffused with rapture.

Chorus:

Your love, divine
was my deliverance.
My hearts your shrine;
it’s no mere limerence;
our souls entwined
in true and neverend-
ing love.
