I Need A Translator

My hands do fail to understand the language of my soul

And all my great imaginings do rarely reach their goal

I am undone, I cannot speak

I need a translator.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Oh, that my hands would learn to play

The music of my heart!

And guide my pen to demonstrate

The sweetest poet's art!

~~~~~~~~~~~

But they cannot.

I am undone.

I need a translator.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Oh, that my lips would better speak

The praises of my King!

And beauteous pictures in my mind

My painting brush might bring!

~~~~~~~~~~~

But they cannot.

I am undone.

I need a translator.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Still, what I've recieved may I ever give;

No matter how stuttered and poor.

To truly bring my offering

I need a Translator.
