And Moses Said...

"Lord, let your glory pass before me,

Shine upon me, face to face.

Let your glory pass before me.

Reveal yourself to the human race."

 

"I long to gaze upon your radiance

Your eyes must beam like stars

My heart yearns for just a glimpse

Please, let me see who you are."

And the Lord replied in a booming call,

"Ah, dear child, It can't be so. 

You want to see my glowing beauty.

Because of love, I must say no."

"I love you like the morning sun

I love you more than the sky!

See, anyone who beholds my face

Will fall prostrate and die."

Based on Exodus 33:18-20
