I Gave Lyrics

"Where is my faith? Even in my innermost feelings, there is nothing except emptiness and darkness. If I ever become a saint, I will surely be a saint of the darkness"- Mother TeresaShe takes her time to wipe his eyes as they water - her soul took the bait
She's fearless as she weaves through their illness and glides over hate
Once called by faith but now a daily fall so far from His grace
"My Father," she calls "why this darkness?" - but silence awaitsI gave my all to see, sacrificed joyfully;
but if I can't believe, what now's your heaven to me?
My hope a shadowland, doubt is on what I stand.
Love saw the best in me, what now's the greatest of these?Her bent knees grow tired from the asking, her back's ached for years
Passersbys move slightly to the side - part reverence, part fear
She longs to yell, to tell her world of sorrow: "I'm drowning in tears;
Look - see us here, we're all begging for something, but who's going to hear?"
I gave my all to see, sacrificed joyfully;
but if I can't believe, what now's your heaven to me?
My hope a shadowland, doubt is on what I stand.
Love saw the best in me, what now's the greatest of these?
