I cut your father’s table

then I lied to you

and you knew it

I didn’t leave the door open

and I don’t do the things I should

But if you showed me anything

it’s self emptying love

If you showed me anything it’s self emptying love

It’s alright

You cannot steer a ship

that is not moving

The only way to walk

is to pick up your feet

You were the zephyr in my sail

and you hold the latern in the dark

But if you showed me anything

it’s self emptying love

If you showed me anything it’s self emptying love

It’s alright

I want you to know that you’ve grown me

now I want you to know me

because I want you to see me like

like I see you

Not everyone who laughs

does so in good humor

keep the tray on your hands

and stay off of the cross

cause nothing is obvious to everyone

and when tenure did not come

You gave us everything

in self emptying love

you gave us everything

in self emptying love

It was alright because every night

you put your hand upon my head

I want you to know that you’ve grown me

now I want you to know me

because I want you to see me like

like I see you
