I am the great sun, but you do not see me, And I am your husband, but you turn away.
I am the captive, but you do not free me, And I am the captain you will not obey.
I am the truth, but you will not believe me, I am the city where you will not stay.
And I am your wife, your child, but you will leave me, And I am the God to whom you will not pray.
I am your captain you will not stay.
I am your counsel, but you will not heed me, And I am the lover whom you will betray.
I am the victor, but you do not cheer me, And I am the holy dove whom you will slay.
I am your life, but if you will not name me,
Seal up your soul with tears and never blame me.
