| He Is One With You
You, dear babe, 'though child you may be Will walk with man, yet seek Eternity Will traverse the Earth, yet be in heaven, too For He who is your Father, is also one with you He who formed the stars and oceans, deep And made all creatures of the world to creep He who fashioned man and woman, too His image is one with them, child, And also one with you He is one with you, child He is one with you You, meek babe, 'though man you shall become Will be tempted just as we are--but you will not succumb For although you may be human, He is one with you And His will moves to influence all you say and do His will--as strong and stronger--as the mighty ox he made Dwells within to make you wary of things He has forbade You have unique power; no man can be like you For, temptation makes us similar, but He is one with you He is one with you, child He is one with you The power of God the Father flows eternally through you... You, poor babe, �though you have the strength to save Will be tried before mankind and choose to go to grave Although you may be spotless, completely blameless, too You have the will to save us, for He is one with you And thus you can choose death, and surrender us your life For you see you put an ending to everlasting strife For, if we look to penance, and find something that we rue, It�s true that we, mankind, can be, Ever one with You |
