The Face Within Your Face

You revealed the face within your face Human,lowly, humbler than an ant The pathos in your eyes made sad my gaze The other face, defended, has no grace With it ,you appear quite confident. Yet you revealed to me your hidden face I know now of the suffering of your days A fear of tragic pasts feared imminent The pathos in your eyes made sad my gaze The Lord says you’re his lamb and sends you grace. Yet you must hide from men intolerant You revealed the face within your face Like Jesus, you were scourged and in disgrace You wandered feebly,lost, itinerant The pathos in your eyes makes sad my days If God exists then would he not embrace The lost, the lonely, even the vagrant? You revealed the face within your face The pathos in your eyes makes humans base
