Come take from me, all that I see,
laid before me by God's mighty hand.
Let these eyes see no more misery,
nor death's shadows in canyons grand.

Let darkness begone from weary eyes,
cast out suffering throughout earth.
Take world's woe and hear our cries,
cleanse through renewal and rebirth.

Shield me, do not let me gaze upon,
release me from my own cross to bear.
Block the sun, moon and stars beyond,
till all hate in the world disappears.

If called upon to remain in blindness,
I shall never question the reason why.
Worth trading for a world of kindness,
to rid planet of hate and its demise.
