Analysis of One from above
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
Friend of the meak
Innocent child
Far from weak
A light so mild
More intense than first sight
Burn bright and beam
From heavens light above
Right down to earths seams
Tare through to true love
And in these teaming eyes
I trust to you with my whole
Sweet Jesus, tell no lies.
