My
Sweet, Crushed Angel
You
have not danced so badly, my dear,
Trying
to hold hands with the Beautiful One.
You
have waltzed with great style,
My
sweet, crushed angel,
To
have ever neared God's Heart at all.
Our
Partner is notoriously difficult to follow,
And
even His best musicians are not always easy
To
hear.
So
what if the music has stopped for a while.
If
the price of admission to the Divine
Is
out of reach tonight.
So
what, my dear,
If
you do not have the ante to gamble for Real Love.
The
mind and body are famous
For
holding the heart ransom,
But
the Beloved's eternal habits are well known
Have
patience,
For
He will not be able to resist your longing
For
long.
You
have not danced so badly, my dear,
Trying
to kiss the Beautiful One.
You
have actually waltzed with tremendous style,
O
my sweet,
Oh my sweet, crushed angel.
