Deep within me
There lies a true distinction
Between the things I would
And what I really do
I cannot believe
That I am so unusual
Isn't this the common sorrow
Within me and you
For nature will see
Only its own advantage
It considers only how
Another might be used
Grace will bring
A new humility
To comfort those afflicted
And to help those once abused
Nature might seek
Its fair consolation
But it never offers it help
Without its price
Without reward
Grace finds reward
In another's consolation
Learning in this paradox
The power of our Lord
