You revealed the face within your face
Human,lowly,worth less than an ant
The pathos in your eyes made sad my gaze
The other face, defended, has no grace
With it,you appear hard,confident.
Yet you revealed to me your hidden face
You showed me the suffering of your days
A fear of tragic pasts feared imminent
The pathos in your eyes made sad my gaze
The Lord knows you’re his lamb and sends you grace.
Yet you must hide from men intolerant
You revealed the face within your face
Like Jesus, you were scourged and in disgrace
You wandered feebly,lost, itinerant
The pathos in your eyes makes sad my days
If God exists then would he not embrace
The lost, the lonely,and the poor vagrant?
You revealed the face within your face.
The pathos in your eyes is our disgrace.
