How Could I?

We keep searching something to entertain us
You laugh at us, my Friend, before your childish children
While Your breath feeds the believers!

Technology, comfort, pleasure
Consuming as sole horizon
Is this what we became, my Lord?
Pour some more wine in my soul
For I pray you again

Times change, Beloved!
The surface of things does
Like ripples on the lake
However
Times don't change
The truth is still the same!
Beloved!

How could I
Teach
Me that I am worse than the worst of men!
How could I
Pray
When I am a sinner deep within
Come Beloved!
And forgive me!

Your love is so large!
Your mercy is so huge!
Your breath makes so many hearts beat!
You hide in such unexpected places!
Oh such happiness!

While You're there dearest friend
Everything cease to pretend existing!
The world bows in front of such strength,
Such life, love and truth!

Love is in the eyes of my tree!
It sings the glory of the Lord!
Love is the heart of my heart!
Bleeding for Your crushing presence!

Beloved! You are the master!
Everything is a bridge to You!
Every experience, every feeling!
All that small moments that have a taste of You
