I Have Seen God’s Loveliness
I
I hear a voice familiar calling me now and then.
Awakened and look to see, who is there speaking.
His voice is soft but stern, His image beautiful!
Suffer smite and endure great pain, caressed by His loving hand.
Then I realize it’s the Almighty with whom I fought.
Deeply corrupted, no humanity, now I see the truth.
For status, compete with God, I am ignoble.
God is still God, man is just man—I am so ignorant.
Too foolish and too proud to know my true self.
I was shameless and embarrassed; my heart fills with regret.
I hate myself, unaware of for what I should live.
Devil trampled me so many years, contemptible I became.
Poisoned by the evil one, humanity is lost.
