Astonishing Light (M. Russell)
I didn’t open
The gifts that you gave me
I didn’t drink
The wine that you poured
I didn’t feel
Deserving or worthy
And I didn’t answer
Your knock at my door
The gifts were too pretty
The wine was too sweet
My heart was too heavy
I was dead on my feet
But if I were to ask
Would I still receive?
Would you show me a truth
In which I could believe
I didn’t listen
To your sweet subtle music
And I didn’t see
Your love in a smile
I didn’t step
Away from the shadows
And I didn’t care
What was pure or vile
The song was too cheery
The smiles were too bright
My eyes couldn’t bear
Your astonishing light
But if I were to open
My ears and my eyes
Would my heart be awakened?
Would it be sanctified?
