Help me not to be unwise
To view my life through my flawed eyes;
Instead through Yours, which see things true.
Almighty power does renew.
--J.B.W.
Ah! Happy they whose hearts can break
And peace of pardon win!
How else may man make straight his plan
And cleanse his soul from sin?
How else but through a broken heart
May Lord Christ enter in?
--Oscar Wilde,
From "The Ballad of Reading Gaol"
