Why Have I Come
To your Presence
Why have I come?
Of what essence
Have I left my home?
Is it for praise
Thrown to the pleasure
Of my face?
Or to acclaim vain glory
When I hurry
To give bountifully out of my treasure?
To criticize the sermon
And constantly blame Brother Simon
For the true doctrine preached?
To blame the song pitched
And out of harmony...
The rent of cacophony!
To your Presence
Why have I come?
Of what essence
Have I left my home?
I have come to touch thee
To be defeated at your feet
Your victory evident on me
To heal my stony heart
At your divine treat
Glued to you and never apart.
