[bodytext] => Ashamed of grace, I hide my face. Your life I do not share. I sit in wonder, pain and awe, And say it is not fair. Where is my fire, my love for You, As when it had begun? As if You are to blame for these, The things that I have done. Humbled, hobbled, torn and bleeding, I see You in their eyes. Knowing their hearts, know their minds, I should not show surprise. They love You, Lord, with fire and passion, And care not what others think. Yet I, their senior, once mentor and leader, From Your Light I tend to shrink. My pride, my anger, my "righteousness", What folly, what dastardly sin! I dig a hole beneath the sand, And quickly shove my small head in. How can I sit here, proud and strong, Knowing all I know? In truth, I'm not the only one To know it for a show.
