The Secret of the Bleeding Heart

I've been having this song in my head repeatedly recently...

Bleeding Heart
A symbol of undying love. It resembles a heart seeping a drop of blood and it blooms in the Spring.



The Secret of the Bleeding Heart

The bleeding heart -- op^ens to me,
Opens up, step b^y step.
At the depth of -- Your snow-white, pure heart, hides Your affection,
The secret of Your desire.
Why was Your heart -- wounded for me?
Why was Your heart -- shattered for me?
For I'm Your joy and bride of --- growing love, glory. When You
Saw me, You saw, eternity...

Despised the shame, endured the cruel cross,
Drop by drop, blood -- seeped through Your heart.
Such intense pain, who'd know, who'd understand? Your side was pierced
To show me Your aching love.
Oh You bore such -- great agony,
Your fervent Flame -- of love to me.
The flow'r's Your love expression --- of Your he^art-breaking love;
Your blood speaks of -- Your affection.

Birds sing, flow'rs bloom. Pink pe^tals pave
Our romantic -- carpet of love.
Celebrates the -- rising of our Lord, celebrates the spring
Of our eternal uni'on.
Your heart's always -- exposed to me!
I plunge into -- Yo^ur bosom!
It is my sole resting place -- in this who^le universe,
You embrace me, You embrace me -- to the depth of Your heart.
