I can’t look at You straight in the eye.
Your beauty is far too great for me.
Resulting shame’s expressed with a sigh,
thus my feet desire to flee.

I find I’m up against a wall.
Is this where You want me?
Unable to silence Your loving call,
I’m up against my own plea.

So I’m cornered, so I’m shamed;
it’s His presence desiring me so.
Desiring the One who’s so named;
nameless Peace I yearn to know.

I am pressed within this corner,
I’m hard-pressed to complain.
Here’s the freedom. I’m on the border,
with a chance to know Your name.

Desire to flee seems to leave,
For I’ve found my place.
Let the world for me grieve,
my joy is found in Your face.
