Why can't you see

THE STABAT MATER
;
BENEATH the world's redeeming wood, The most afficated Mother stood, Mingling her tears with her Son's blood. As that flowed down from every part, Of all his wounds she felt the smart, What pierced his body pierced her heart. Who can with tearless eyes look on, When such a Mother, such a son, Wounded and gasping, does bemoan! O worse than Jewish heart, that could Unmoved behold the double flood Of Mary's tears and Jesu's blood. Alas! our sins, they were not his In this atoning sacrifice, Foe which he bleeds, for which he dies, When graves were opened, rocks were rent When nature and each element His torments and their grief resent: Shall man, the cause of all his pain And all his grief, shall sinful man Alone insensible remain? Ah pious mother, teach my heart, Of sighs and tears the holy art, And in thy grief to bear a part. The sword of grief, which did past through Thy very soul, O may it now Upon my heart a wound bestow. Great queen of Sorrows, in thy train Let me a mourner's place obtain, With tears to cleanse all sinful stain. To heal the leprosy of sin, We must the cure with tears begin, All flesh's corrupt without their brine. Refuge of sinners, grant that we May tread thy steps, and let it be Our sorrow not to grieve like thee. O may the wounds of thy dear Son Our contrite hearts possess alone, And all terrence affections drown. Those wounds which now the stares outshine, Those furnaces of love devine, May they our drossy souls refine; And on us such impressions make, That we of, suffering, for his sake, May joyfully our portion take. Let us proper badge put on; Let's glory in the cross alone, By which he marks us for his own. That when the dreadful trial's come, Foe every man to hear his doom, On his right hand we may find room. O hear us, Mary! Jesus, hear! Our humble prayers secure our fear, When thou in judgment shalt apper. Now, give us sorrow, give us love, That so prepared, we may remove, When called to seats of bliss above. Amen

"Can't you see, Can't ya see... what your love... has been doin' to me". :))) It reminds me of that song too. I need to get a new LS album I think. I gave mine away and just saw real cheap at a discount store... later and thx for sharing your gifts! Have a supa dupa day!

This is amazing, it reminds of a Simple Kinda Man in regards to the wise, shedding light to the blind, very cool!
