1363 (answer to 1362?)

Why do you not listen when I speak,

Complaining that I'm deaf to all your prayers,

Shouting I don't listen, do not seek

To touch your heart and soothe away your cares?

I share your pain; when you're alone I'm there

Beside you, though your anger shuts your ears

To understand that I always care,

Could any moment wash away your fears;

But I can't force you to let me come in -

The handle of this door is on your side -

I'll go on knocking but I cannot win

Your love by force, no matter that I died

To show you that love costs and always will.

Our selfless love will lead to Calvary's Hill.
