I Turned My Face |
I turned my face from God, but I won’t turn from you |
I turned it not in shame, but to shield his light from view |
My body, it will die, but what I do today will resonate |
Until the action, long since passed |
Bears no resemblance to what it wrought before |
You turned your face as well and I feared I was to blame |
Because your face now turned |
No longer burned with virtue’s flame |
And when your face was turned |
It ceased to be pleasingly cherubic |
I could detect the spark (or lack thereof) or chronic tepidness |
I turned my face from God, but I won’t turn from you |
I turned it not in shame, but to shield his light from view |
My body it will die but what I do today will resonate |
Until the action, long since passed |
Bears no resemblance to what it wrought before |
I’d like to think that I |
Can tough-mindedly avoid these snares |
But this conceit will last |
Only until your rod and staff are gone |
And now that I have wept tears of despair |
Please let me cling to you |
And now that I have died to myself |
Please let me see your face |
And since my longing took a desperate turn |
I feel you near to me |
And now that my voice cracks with regret |
I draw you into me |
I may not have a lot |
But what you have, you have surely got |
And when it’s gone from me? |
Part of it will stay with you endlessly |
What did it do in me? |
It wrapped your heart in veiny filigree |
What if I turn around? |
Then truthfully, you were never found |
