Oh, why can we not see the truth
Embedded in our minds,
And know in hearts the final proof
That God we will there find?
So mis-directed are our hearts
By minds are led astray,
That restless are our inward parts
As minds our hearts betray.
We don’t believe that we can know
The truth that sets us free;
Our hearts are cast by minds below
Where Satan laughs in glee.
Exhausted we become with search;
At last for help we cry
And listen to the Catholic Church
Who tears of longing dry.
Through Church again breathes heaven’s air–
Blows from our minds that fog–
See Mary who’s Our Lady Fair,
Removes from eye that log.
Our mis-directed hearts are free
As minds to truth will lead:
In praise to Jesus, bend our knee–
Are washed by truth He bleeds.
All our confusion melts away
As we on Calv’ry kneel;
The Devil now does not hold sway
When truth in us revealed.
We willing subjects now become,
Receive God’s truth again,
And are His daughters and His sons:
Both minds and hearts He mends.
PROCLAIMING TRUTH!
