When I look into your face
I see the beginning of the human race.
Cast out,
God said, "I will multiply your pain...."
Asian
Foot bound compliance;
Abject obedience.
Black
Shackled
Chained
Deprived of even pain.
Muslim
Enveloped in finery.
To have and hold as property.
All mutely crying, "Free Me!"
By one sin crept into our soul;
By one victorious
Draws us into God's fold.
Holy Spirit dancing across the earth,
Womankind
seeks
to
find,
Her one True Love,
Through re-birth.
