I see you through respectful glasses
with forgiveness tinted lenses
Mercy covers with understanding
all the stains that my love cleanses

I wear sympathizing sandles
'cause I've walked your path before
And like wrestling with an angel
I sweat as blood from every pore

My tunic of compassion
threads the father intertwined
made of patience and devotion
clothes a heart that's meek and kind

And though now you may see darkly
soon you'll be able to retrace
your grace reflections in my eyes
when we stand face to face

Can't you see I love you
no matter what you've done
and if you'd just love me
then we can be one
