What care I for man's cankering treasure?
Why should my heart bleed for children of Eve?
All gold of creation can't buy pleasure
Those who trust love, will love in turn deceive
Oh God! Would that thou strip mine small beauty
Divide from me my former gifts divine
Release this servant his kingly duty
Relieve this wearied solider from the line
Hidden is the path of life from my sight
God make me a stone, ask of me no more
Leave me here to this lonely world of night
I am dust on the wind, look how I soar
Forgive me dear God for my soul's lament
I can't deny thy hand Lord, I repent
