awaken are we by He that breathes

Shallow are the souls that assign beauty,

Beautiful is the soul that loves the shallow.

Tragic are the lives that overlook joy,

Joyful is the life that overcomes tragedy.

Vacant are the minds that ignore hope,

Hopeful is the mind that replenishes the vacant.

Vain are the bodies that diminish purity,

Pure is the body that refuses vanity.

Stained are the hearts that suppress mercy,

Merciful is the heart that washes the stained.

Undeserving are the ones that crucify the holy.

Holy is the one that redeems the undeserving.
