1 Oh Lord, smelling Your presence
Strikes my inner feelings
Perceiving its magnificence
Fills me with positive tidings

2 Oh Lord, seeing your face
Glimmering with glory & honor
Catches my ardent gaze
While dazzling me with fervor

3 Oh Lord, having Your words
Makes my consciousness tremble
Like a sheep among herds
Giving momentum to assemble

4 Oh Lord, saying Your name
During my pain & distress
Takes away false fear & shame
But not on moments when I transgress

5 Oh Lord, touching Your manifest
Gives me strength & courage
When I am under a test
Facing concrete or abstract carnage

6 Oh Lord, I’m astounded looking at You
But uncomfortable with Your stare
Seems You’re watchful with all I do

7 Oh Lord, I’m ensnared listening to You
But elusive over Your eavesdropping
Lest You learn of a sin I do

8 Oh Lord, I’m inquisitive speaking with You
But cautious of my language
For it can reflect what I did, am doing & will do

9 Oh Lord, I’m delightful walking beside You
But suspicious if others are envious
Of course, it’s an amazing thing to do

10 Oh Lord, who is like me?
I’m proud like a celebrity!

11 Oh Lord, I traversed the road with pride
As if I can always make a great stride

12 Oh Lord, I never sensed the pitfall ahead
When from You, I turned away my head

13 Oh Lord, suddenly I’ve fallen!...condemned by women of Jerusalem!
