If the first Shall be last And the last, first Then let me drown out The world’s noise With my silence Let me answer The world’s questions With my ignorance Let me seek The divine In the mundane Let me share Generously From my poverty Let me believe A crucified criminal Is God’s anointed Let me pour new wine Into old wine skins And rejoice at the bursting If the first Shall be last And the last, first Then let this imagined me die That the unimaginable true I May live eternally and divinely With You My Love
