What inspires one as beautiful as you, To walk amongst the lowly and the weak, To take up the little children in your arms, To show the old the way to their dreams fulfilment. To shine a light on the path of the young, Could love's power be so compelling? What inspires one as holy as u, To give your beauty for my ashes, To give your oil of gladness in exchange for my garment of mourning, To turn my mourning night to a rejoicing morning, To see purity where everyone else saw filth, To make a temple for God's presence out of my dust and soul, Could love's power be so transforming?
