You shared flesh with me
danced with me in the ancient circle
of birth life and d**h
but You live again
while autumn leaves fall
in the summer of my life
it is the millstone
around the neck of us all
but You wore it like a crown
weaving to the shrill
that makes cowards of us all
but to You it was harmony
You knew shame like no other
You tasted d**h like no other
You shed tears like no other man
this incarnation repelled me
but threw me to my knees
could i be anything
but a moth to the flame
Your cross compels me
You are the breath that gives me life
You are mystery
You are beauty
You are the risen Christ
