When I Gleam
What does it mean, when I gleam
I live above what seems
That when I look at precious lives
I see I can survive
And the fragile longing heart
That God has made us who we are
I-would not have cared
But that he wooed me, now is clear
And not me only, others too
Who seemed to some where fools
When I gleam
That God lives deeply in my being
He takes my taint and gives me hope
I gleam out of this scope
