I Gave
'Where is my faith? Even in my innermost feelings, there is nothing except emptiness and darkness. If I ever become a saint, I will surely be a saint of the darkness'
- Mother Teresa
She takes her time to wipe his eyes as they water – her soul took the bait She's fearless as she weaves through their illness and glides over hate Once called by faith but now a daily fall so far from His grace 'My Father,' she calls 'why this darkness?' – but silence awaits
I gave my all to see, sacrificed joyfully; but if I can't believe, what now's your heaven to me? My hope a shadowland, doubt is on what I stand. Love saw the best in me, what now's the greatest of these? Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
Her bent knees grow tired from the asking, her back's ached for years Passersbys move slightly to the side – part reverence, part fear She longs to yell, to tell her world of sorrow: 'I'm drowning in tears; Look – see us here, we're all begging for something, but who's going to hear?'
I gave my all to see, sacrificed joyfully; but if I can't believe, what now's your heaven to me? My hope a shadowland, doubt is on what I stand. Love saw the best in me, what now's the greatest of these?
