I called through your door
Rumi
I called through your door,
“The prayerful ones
are gathering in the street.
Something huge is
happening.
Come out!”
You called back,
“Leave me alone.
I’m ill.”
I yell in return,
“I don’t care if you’re dead!
Come out!
Jesus is here.
And he wants
to resurrect somebody!”
Pray: How Great Thou Art
Carl Gustav Boberg 1885
English Version Stuart K. Hine 1953
O Lord my God
when I
in awesome wonder
consider
all the works
Thy hands have made
I see
the stars
I hear
the rolling thunder
Your power throughout
the universe displayed…
Then sings my soul
my Savior God
to Thee
how great Thou art!
how great Thou art!
