WHAT MORE MUST I DO?

I've called to you so many times and in so many voices

yet you've heard only a distant echo and turned away.

 

I've made pictures dance before your eyes

but you've put it down to a trick of the light.

 

I've spoken to you through melody and through song

but you've closed your mind to my truth.

 

I've seen you stumble and tried to save you

but you've brushed my hand away.

 

I've held back for so long until I couldn't help but reach

down and touch you, but you shied away like a child afraid

of a monster.  You can't imagine how much that hurt.

 

I've wept over you so many times. Those who love me have

been caught in the pain but the cloud has passed over you

unnoticed.

 

You are always just beyond the reach of a fingertip,

slightly more than a whisper away.

 

I poured out my life, in agony, on a cross for you.

What more must I do to capture your heart?
