A slow ballad on Saved that blends a love song with a song of faith.
The words
The singer thanks a woman who has shared his faith and stands beside him in a covenant with God.
The narrator speaks with gratitude to a woman whom he sees as bound with him in a sacred promise, someone who understands him and has helped bring him closer to God. The verses mix personal tenderness with religious language, so that devotion to her and devotion to faith blur together. The tone is warm, humble and steady. A gentle keyboard-led arrangement keeps it intimate compared with the more fiery songs around it.
