Van Dyck, Anthony, 1599-1641. Christ and the Pharisees; verso; Christ and a Pharisee, from Art in the Christian Tradition, a project of the Vanderbilt Divinity Library, Nashville, TN.
Maybe It's True
You tell me that I’ve changed
That I don’t say the things I used to say
That I don’t pray the way I used to pray
That I don’t see faith in the same way...
Maybe it’s true
But have I really changed...or have you?
You tell me that I’m not the same
Than what you remember me to be
Than what you thought I ought to be
Than what you believed was really me…
Maybe it’s true
But have I really changed...or have you?
I don’t remember you being so unkind
To care less about love than a state of mind
To try to create a world where you will find
Only people who think just the way you do...
Maybe it’s true
Maybe I have changed...but so have you.
