Not Even I

I’m pleased with this song because it says quite a lot in fairly few words. I usually do it the other way round.......

Not Even I ©Brian Hooper, January 2008

Not even I, in all my foolishness,
My private pride, my selfish ways,
Not even I, in all my weakness,
Stand beyond the Saviour's gaze.
From the cross you see it all, every rise and every fall,
And I know, though I don't know why,
Not even I escape your love.

Not even I, in all my willfulness,
Can pretend we stand alone;
Not even I, with all that I possess,
Can turn back time, put back the stone.

From the cross you see it all, every rise and every fall,
And I know, though I don't know why,
Not even I escape your love.
