I Am the Great Sun
by Charles Causley, inspired by a 16th century Norman crucifix

I Am the Great Sun,
but you do not see me.

I Am your Husband,
but you turn away.

I Am the Captive,
but you do not free me.

I Am the Captain,
whom you will not obey.

I Am the Truth,
but you will not believe me.

I Am that God,
to whom you will not pray.

I AM your Wife and your Child,
but you will leave me.

I AM that City,
where you will not stay.

I AM your Counsel,
but you do not hear me.

I AM your Lover,
whom you will betray.

I AM the Victor,
but you do not share me.

I AM the Holy Dove,
that you will slay.

I AM your Life,
but if you will not name me,

Seal up your Soul with tears,
and never blame Me
