THE FACE OF GOD

Lay your hands upon my un-belief

and cast it from my soul

fill me with your presence

recall to mind what I've let go

Let me comprehend my value

when I look into your eyes

let me know that I am equal

let me touch your light

Do not come to me as teacher

come to me as friend

do not think your jobs to change me

merely let me in

The change will come the instant

I see myself as you

the Oneness of our Spirit

will make us both brand new

I have the deepest yearning

to look upon your face

the face that's always hid behind

the mask called human race

And soon we all shall see it

when we awake from this Facade

and we recognize each others face

as the face of God
