Look At Me Not


Look at me not

    for I am a sinner.

Look at me not

    for I am unworthy.

Look at me not

    for I'm only human.

Look at me not

    for I cursed your name.

Look at me not for my actions be shamed.

Hear when I cry because your passion is great.

Look at me not all people alike

To scorn, to stone, to stress, to starve

For you all are as worthy as I.
