Du bist, der mich sieht // You are the one who sees me
©2004 T/M: N.Weth / Übersetzung: Judy Bailey, Patrick Depuhl
I come alone,
fleeing the questions in the silence -
hidden, wandering, lost.
Each morning
heralds another day to survive,
and my soul trembles.
You are the one who sees me.
You know what I am hoping for,
and you find what was lost.
You are here, my God,
you will be there when I fall.
I lift my eyes, you look at me.
…
He dared to ask after me.
He stays, he discerns, he listens.
My life, a dark abyss of laments
and each with its own song.
With you
the abyss becomes a well,
laments turn into prayer.
Jesus -
the one I was searching for, has found me.
It is he who speaks to me.
I lift my eyes, you look at me.
