When he calls on me tonight
Will i rise and have to greet him?
O lord are you in need?
He'll ask of me to think
Of some grounds on which to meet him
O lord are you in need?
The porch across the street
Is cold and dark and empty
O lord are you in need?
The window to the left
Holds warmth and light to tempt me
O lord are you in need?
Can one that i admire
Ask kneeling for my kindness?
O lord are you in need?
This seamlessness i granted,
Was that due to my blindness?
O lord are you in need?
Your face seems hardly that
Which i've pined for in the mirror
O lord are you in need?
Nor the visage i held up
To support me in life's furor
O lord can you be in need?
