You do not know my soul,
Though it seem so plain to see.
Its stained black by the light
You wrongly know in me.
i could not tell its color,
For no abyssal can be seen.
Like ocean depths of hollow night,
With hate it seems to teem
i live upon men's praise
Though day by day i die
My truth i now betray
My mind knows naught but lie
Curse Me! Hate me!
This i deserve, i am not a man!
You could not know my careless sin
And love me as i am.
Can You hear my muffled scream
Of self-sung dying dirge?
Do you know the truth within,
Yet give forgiving words?
How can i accept that
Which i turn from day by day:
Was it for me you did this?
By death You made the way?
Tell me naught of love,
i deserve no blinded thing
Or could You truly be so blind,
My gracious, loving King?
My soul drowns in redemption
My darkness, dead today.
I will follow You, My Lord,
'Til Your glory comes to stay
I weakly ask of you, My Life,
One thing I meekly pray.
That I will learn to love you more
With every passing day.
this is awesome...
great piece!
