A woman’s face and shoulder against a black background. Her skin is covered with dirt.

O Love, will you exonerate my heart?
Release me and acquit me of all wrong?
For I have loved so hard I am unclean.

Who told you you were dirty and defiled?
Who told you loving could pollute your soul?
No, Love will make you whole, restore and heal.
