Lyrics
I bow down, and I cry out in pain.
My unfaithful heart, it has wandered again.
I have worshipped at the feet of an idol of rock.
Your holy jealousy was kindled by my straying walk.
I'm Yours. You claimed me with Your suffering.
I'm Yours. You see me clean and pure.
My heart, it has wandered, but Your love is sure.
I turn from my idol and cry, I'm Yours.
I gave a part of myself to a terrestrial lover.
I was to be Yours wholly, not meant for any other.
You have shed drops of blood to call me Your own.
Now You shed tears of pain, for I have not loved You alone.
I'm Yours. You claimed me with Your suffering.
I'm Yours. You see me clean and pure.
My heart, it has wandered, but Your love is sure.
I turn from my lover and cry, I'm Yours.
I flew from Your arms; I felt bound and chaste.
Now I long to be held in Your firm embrace.
I turn to You now, just a tainted bride.
And You lift my veil; there is nothing left for me to hide.
I'm Yours. You claimed me with Your suffering.
I'm Yours. You see me clean and pure.
My heart, it has wandered, but Your love is sure.
I turn to you now and I cry, I'm Yours.
