Story Behind The Song
Since you asked, it struck me while writing the lyrics that people do terrible things in the name of love. We bomb and we kill each other in the name of love. So the piece is like a prayer someone might utter before doing something unthinkable. If I love God and my family, it means I have to fight these other people. Everyone does it, but we aren't aware of it.

Lyrics
Unto You and to You only,
You alone my heart's desire,
I commit your way unto you,
Guide my footsteps, be my refuge.
In my world there is no other,
I worship only You,
And I burn when I approach You
I beg You use me as You want to,
Only God knows above,
All I have done for love,
What I conceived of,
All I have done for love
All for you I left my homeland,
Journeyed half a world away,
Other voices, I don't hear them
When You hold me in Your sway,
Only God knows above
All I have done for love.
