How Beautiful
How beautiful it is to kneel before You now:
Let me be taught by this Rabbi of Galilee
Away from what I think I see
Heal my vision with the mud from Your hands
Help me let go of all my works
For it is You who have accomplished it anyway
And take the baggage of burden from my hands, O Shepherd
Grant me the rest only You can give
For its only when I let go
That You can fully look at me and say,
“How beautiful you are, when you let your poverty
Be crowned by the King of eternity.”
