0611B I HAVE LOVED A THING FORBIDDEN (SONG OF THE WEEK)

I HAVE LOVED A THING FORBIDDEN

(David and Karen Mains have written a series of books called Tales of the Kingdom with which I have had the privilege of doing some music. I so have been moved by the stories that I wrote a song for each one. This one is from chapter 10, Amanda and the Dragon, written in 2010. Please forgive the production and voice once again. Just placeholders of my own voice over and over.)

My brothers and sisters I must tell you a story

It's a story of battle, it's a story of sin

Of sin and of childhood and a dragon in battle

A battle I lost and a battle I must win

I have loved a thing forbidden

I have lost what I loved the most

This has been a hard fought lesson

Truth has been gained but only by loss

[Trust can be gained but only by loss]
