To Stand Before Him

I stand before You Man, the crown of creation a speck in the cosmos, if that... i bow before You ceding my will to do Yours i pray before You my words straining to be heard... I retreat from You go forth into the world strengthened by Your touch

Very moving and spiritual, gw, just one question, on the last stanza, the first 'you' is not capitalized but the final 'Your' is, was that to signify the last 'you' is not an almighty being (or am I just overthinking and it's just a typo?)

Thanks, Michelle, and yes, it's a typo (now fixed, thanks to your alert eye!). Blessings, Gershon
