You See But My Shadow
I watch you all the time.
I can hear your heart make a beated rhyme,
I stand amazed at God's creation.
I see you when you think you're alone
Even when you visit that precious stone,
To express your lamentation.
Your voice is unlike any other,
Reaching me where in the darkness I hover
And hide my face.
Someday we shall meet, you and I.
You'll think I've come from the glorious sky
And you'll show me your wondrous grace.
But on another occasion you shall see
The horrid face which was never meant to be
That belongs to this creature so low.
You'll long to be under someone else's law
And long for the days when all you saw
Was but my shadow.
