Comes the Day (A Revelation Found) -2/17/05
Forbid me now to cry and I will sigh
And tear this bloody, beating heart from breast.
Forbid me now to struggle or to try,
And I will cease to writhe and cease to wrest.
Deny me now desires that I would seek
And I will bind my mind with sternest cord.
Deny my tongue its freedom now to speak,
And like the dumb, I’ll hold my ev’ry word.
Invite me now to give up all my pain;
Invite me now to lay my burdens down;
Invite me now to purity of brain;
Invite me now to purity of sound;
And seeming darknesses are stripped away
As, trusting through the darkness, comes the Day.
