Veronica's Veil

	I joined all the others who lined the path
	Some clutched stones, others held their breath
	I was the wife of a Roman who had sentenced you
	I just came to observe I was not planning to
	Enter the procession as it passed me by,
	But I felt bound to raise my veil to wipe the sweat from your eyes
	And when I pulled it back I knew the rumors were true
	Burned into that sheet was the image of you
	I think I can believe now
	In the sin I've done
	and that you can absolve me
	And everyone –
	Will be rewarded for
	their faith and belief
	In the sharing of your word
	From the cloth you lay beneath
	I came to the emperor to show the sacred cloak
	To heal and convince him you weren't a joke
	Your face will never leave him now that he has seen the mark
	That lifted shroud has cured him; shedding light where there was dark
	But I only wish you'd shown me with no sacrifice
	If only I could have believed you without the need of sight
	But my dedication to you now will never be swayed
	since I saw the thorn crown and the spilled blood you have paid

	I joined all the others who lined the path
	Some clutched stones, others held their breath
	I was the wife of a Roman who had sentenced you
	I just came to observe I was not planning to
	Enter the procession as it passed me by,
	But I felt bound to raise my veil to wipe the sweat from your eyes
	And when I pulled it back I knew the rumors were true
	Burned into that sheet was the image of you
	I think I can believe now
	In the sin I' ve done
	and that you can absolve me
	And everyone
	Will be rewarded for
	their faith and belief
	In the sharing of your word
	From the cloth you lay beneath
	I came to the emperor to show the sacred cloak
	To heal and convince him you weren' t a joke
	Your face will never leave him now that he has seen the mark
	That lifted shroud has cured him shedding light where there was dark
	But I only wish you' d shown me with no sacrifice
	If only I could have believed you without the need of sight
	But my dedication to you now will never be swayed
	since I saw the thorn crown and the spilled blood you have paid
