Some fires burn so brightly
But in a short time they grow so cold
In the actions of a Christian
Love shines pure as tested gold
Fiction is fiction
But a fact, baby, ain't no lie
When you can look God in the face
You can look your neighbor in the eye
Father take me by degrees
Take me any way you please
I'm not my own
Got eternity to love you
In the light all around your throne
Don't need no reputation
Earthly glory'll leave you cold
Live an' learn
It's like kissin' through a windowpane
Pretendin it's true love
Live an' learn
A love that lasts eternally
That's what I want
A slow burn
