Arise, my love

Arise my love
The winter is gone
And the seasons are starting to change
Arise my love
My beautiful one
The time of singing will follow the rain
In the city I looked
And found you not
The one my heart and soul loves
I have not a name
And not a good way
To find you my Lillie my Rose
I heard a knock
And I leaned in to hear
Listening for the voice I sought
But I waited to long
And by waiting wrong
I opened but I found you not
Arise my love
The winter is gone
And the seasons are starting to change
Arise my love
My beautiful one
The time of singing will follow the rain
So where have you gone
And why did you leave
To look I know where to start
For I am all His
and He is all mine
Two worlds but one in heart
The fire consumes
Sweeping all before
Torrents of rain can't drown it out
For love is not bought
Love is not sold
And love burns best in a drought
Arise my love
The winter is gone
And the seasons are starting to change
Arise my love
My beautiful one
Time for singing and dancing again
