Blinded

Blinded

Sometimes we are blinded

When we’re overwhelmed

We lose ourselves

In our own selfishness

Our egos allow us to be bold or to be sad

By grief or joy we become emotionally bad

We ignore our true Hope and then

We forget to Whom we should listen

He who took on all of our sins

And died on that Cross for us too

He Who is above all our losses and wins

He is The Lord who loves me and you

Our trust and our will is what He desires

In fact this is all He truly requires

For us to be with Him in Heaven

Turn to Him and eternal life will you gain

So when Mary at the tomb clouded by grief

Did not recognize our Lord at her side

His words calling her name allowed needed relief

And suddenly Rabbouni she cried

Amen
