I Stand on the Corner of Life and Look

I stand on the corner of life and look

My fingers curl round a precious book

My heart is twisted, wrenched and bleeding

For those who pass me, each one needing

This truth.

I hold the hand of our galaxy’s King

Remembering how He left everything

My heart is twisted, wrenched and bleeding

For those who pass me, each one needing

This love.

I share the hope that is in my soul

My eyes and heart have grown so full

My heart is twisted, wrenched and bleeding

For those who pass me, still unheeding

This gift.
