Cer nou

Grait-am ieri cu Domnul                                                  Dar, n-ai plecat!
In lacrimi si i-am spus:                                                    Ba inca, cu pasul Tau curat,
De noi cum nu Ti-e sila                                                   Te-ai coborat din ceruri
Preascumpul meu Iisus?                                                In iadul meu spurcat.

Cum nu-ti intorci Tu fata                                                 Cu Harul Tau, pe mine
Cu sila de la noi,                                                                De tot m-ai curatit,
Si cum mai vrei sa suferi                                                 Cu raza Ta, tot chipul
Faptura din noroi?                                                          Tu mi l-ai stralucit.

Cum vrei sa calce-n lume                                                 Cu focul Tau, pe mine
Piciorul Tau curat,                                                            Cel rece m-ai aprins,
Cel care peste aripi                                                         Si peste saracia
De ingeri a calcat?                                                           Mea goala ai intins.

Cum, poate preacurata                                                    Un colt al hainei Tale,
Stapane, n-o feresti,                                                        Si m-ai facut bogat
In tina omeneasca                                                           Mi-ai dat inel, coroana
Sa nu Ti-o murdaresti?                                                     Porfira de-mparat.

Cum poti sa suferi Doamne                                              Mi-ai incaput in suflet
Miros de putregai,                                                            Tu, cer neincaput,
Cand ai tamaie dulce                                                        Si sufletul meu iata,
A crinilor din Rai?                                                              Tu cer nou l-ai facut.

Cum suferi bezna noastra                                                  In sufletul meu astazi
Tu soare stralucit,                                                              Tu insuti locuiesti,
Cum poti sa rabzi ocara,                                                    Cu Maica Preacurata
Tu Doamne preaslavit?                                                      Cu ostile ceresti.

Si cum fiind caldura                                                            Si pentru toate acestea
Iubirilor ceresti,                                                                  Iisuse preaiubit,
In iadul meu Stapane                                                         In cerul meu din suflet,
Tu vrei sa locuiesti?                                                            Sa fii mereu slavit!

Ca Petru, ani de-a randul
Te-am izgonit mwereu,
“Iesi de la mine Doamne
Ca pacatos sunt eu!”                                                                       ZORICA  LATCU
