They Told Me

They had told me, Lord,
That you were seen.
But not to me,
For worthy, I'd not been.

Beaten and nailed,
Left to die alone.
I said I didn't know You,
I cried 'What have I done?'

If You came back Lord,
What would I really say.
You would see my shame,
For the fear, I felt that day.

A distant figure
Beckons to me.
Is it someone I know,
I just cannot see.

Down on my knees Lord,
For I now know Your face.
Please forgive me,
As we meet in this place.

You ask if I love You,
I can love no one more.
I will tend Your sheep Lord,
Without love, we're so poor.

I ask, please don't leave us,
Lord, not on our own.
Please send us Your Promise,
To keep when you're gone.
