| I've tasted of
compromise |
| and bitter was
its share |
| I've tasted of
bitterness |
| and found a
poison there |
| I've tasted of
my own desire, |
| the end thereof
was death |
| I've tasted of
amazing grace, |
| it's given me my
breath |
|
| I've seen with
eyes of lustful hugh |
| they've casted a
reddened tone |
| I've seen the
fire a tongue can spew, |
| it's chilled me
to the bone |
| I've seen my
dreams a casket fill, |
| then lowered in
the earth |
| I've seen Love
hang on a tree, |
| and there I've
seen my worth |
| |
