The Criminal and The Queen

I have praised your beauty with every thought
And compared myself to everything I’m not
All to see if I might be blessed enough for you
Could a sinner like me find love genuine and true
A smile as bright as the stars and skin as gold as the sun
How many times have I begged The Lord to make you the one
But you are royalty, you are the queen
And I a criminal, the scum of everything
So from a distance, I must stand and only admire
And turn only to daydreams to satisfy my desire
I have heard that God can sometimes be forgiving and true
If so may He make me a king worthy enough for you
