My new life
Back to Rhyme Thru
My new life
— Evita
Oh, I was fallen with complete despair
Afflicted with sorrow, pain and no care
No one could lift my spirits up
To carry my burden, no power seemed to be enough
I closed my eyes
Shoulders drooped
I want to die
Loud I cried.
All the while I was walking on fire
Stuck by the thorns of worldly desire
Just to realize, I was yet not burnt
No scars, no wounds, no pricks and no tears.
Just then I heard
a voice so meek
yet so distinct indeed
Dear I understand and I do care
Oh dear I do understand and I will bear
Lifted my eyes to look who it was
and there I saw a hidden cross
I straightened up, being fallen lame
To see the one carrying all my shame.
There were my burns
There were my wounds
There were the thorns
My pain and moans
That was the cross which carried them
To relieve me, my God was slain
I fall at your feet O dear Christ
And thank you for my new life.
