Sacrifice Your Sins

Sacrifice
Your sins
For the good
Of one and all concerned
It's you who knows better than anyone else
In the darkness of your secret room, turn away from your evil ways

Flesh
Will whither
Return to dust
Bone turns again to stone
It's better if one should cry at night
Than to suffer in lost spirit the torturous punishment of hellfire for eternity

Heaven
Is God
God is love
Therefore heaven is also love
And true love knows no tears or fear
Only the true love of an all-powerful creator can restore us to perfection
