Dearly Loved Lyrics

Cover art for Dearly Loved lyrics by Jimmy Needham

Actually, the first line is “Please lay down your eros.” Based on the next part “cause they're sure to pierce the skin,” I'm sure it's a play on words with “arrows”. It compares the passionate/erotic love “eros,” with the unconditional love of God “agape”. I think the line “and water from a broken well will make you thirst again” sums up this comparison quite well.
