Doubt is born of isolation, when you trust too much to yourself; the greater gift is to be able to communicate; when you're grateful for a promise, bonds form; but the true Lover, God, has no need of reciprocation, never makes himself scarce, makes no bargains; He simply loved us and so paid for our guilt in human flesh, a gift to humble and make us thankful, so large, free that we might repose in Him, live on intense faith, and burn with rapture; but his light's darkened by the shadows of my mind led, twisted by lies, troubled and can pay little mind to that strange splendor. |
