This was written some time ago for St. Lucy. St Lucy was a martyr for her faith, she promised her body to God but was forced to marry. After she refused her husband he turned her over to the authorties who asked her to renounce her faith. She refused, but when they tried to move her her body would not budge and she stood as a mountain. She said that whatever they do to her body could not really harm her because her will was with God. They tortured her by plucking out her eyes and stabbed her repeatedly but she still proclaimed her faith till death. I wrote this as God speaking to Lucy. Her loyalty to her beliefs should stand as encouragement to all. I wish that I like Lucy could stand with such conviction in the midst of suffering.
Only has eyes for you
What love my love you have shown
For I knew you were to love me so
And even when they would lift your hand
Their idols fell before you
Betrothed to me his you could never be
A purest love they will never know
For forever you shall sit
Beside a mightier throne
I know you love , what love you have shown
You are mine my child my lover
This you must know
I have sent you forward
And I send you still
To show them a love that
They can never kill
Guiltless you are to me
For I know your will
Can never be their purpose
And what to your body they do
Will never happen to you
My ghost is at your side
You they will never move
They may take your eyes
But my sight you will never lose
I know you love , what love you have shown
You are mine my child my lover
This you must know
I have sent you forward
And I send you still
To show them a love that
They can never kill
Pure and radiant you are with me now
