​

I see you

Sitting in darkness

Covered by life

Smelly

Dirty

Overtaken in dismay

Disheartened 

Defeated 

Lost

I wonder 

How you got there

What was you’re life

Successful

Happy

Enriched by children

Bright future 

Victorious 

Alive

Then it all fell apart

Crumbled 

Like a house of cards

All gone 

Job

Family

Respect 

Position 

One mistake

All gone

I don’t see

Your need

I blind myself 

I shut my mind

I walk on by

Where is Christ 

Where is mercy

Where is compassion 

Where is love

Christ

Is in you

Calling out

Wanting me to turn

To open the door 

To let you in

Christ 

Is in me

Begging to act

To touch you

To heal you

To bring peace

Bring joy

I don’t listen

I walk on by

I fail

Help me, Lord

To open my eyes

And my heart

To you.
