Here I knelt, cathedral nude
With no soul nor heart intrude
Diamonds laid on altar bare
Hoping somehow thou wouldst care
Wand'ring, searching, rags of time -
Sheltered - clothed my speechless crime
Blind and deaf, mute, no heart;
Pause and end, with no start
With but one tear, shine anew
Cleanse this dust, reveal so true
That skin so torn - that it should bleed
Out pureness of this life and creed
Thy will should have my strength to live
And take this also, mine to give:
Sacrifice, all in thy name
No hurt, no cry, no mark in shame
And that they asked so much of me
I give all up - all just for thee.
