You Said, But I
You Said, But I
You said, "Trust in me with all your heart
And lean not on your own understanding".
But deep inside my heart
There lies this secret desire.
You said, "I perform wonders that cannot be fathomed
And miracles that cannot be counted".
But here are questions that are unanswered
And blunders even dreadful to guess.
You said, "I created your inmost being
And knot you together in your mother's womb".
But I longed for the love of the world,
What a fool am I! Lord take me back!
Little beauty, dry your eyes,
Needless are those tears and sighs;
I, your Father, beloved Friend,
Am here to take away the disgrace you dread.
These were the words that I longed to hear
The words that stole away my fear.
