ksenia

Left her behind in your youthful time

Fallen ill before confessing and suddenly died

She feared for his soul and left the cities behind

When Ksenia came back, she became a new kind

 

Ksenia, Ksenia, she became a fool-for-You

Ksenia, Ksenia, she knew exactly what you wanted her to do

 

She took his jacket and gave her money away

She did things for his soul and they called her his name

She wandered the city, all she did was pray

She gave her life up so that he could stay

 

Ksenia, Ksenia, she became a fool-for-You

Ksenia, Ksenia, she knew exactly what You wanted her to do

Walking in snowfall without any shoes

 

She could tell if you were speaking the truth

Put the bricks up in a church without any excuse

The hardest part of labor was all done through

This fool-for-God, it was all she could do

 

Saint Ksenia, Ksenia, she became a fool-for-You

Ksenia, Ksenia, she knew exactly what You wanted her to do

Saint Ksenia, Ksenia, she became a fool-for-You

Ksenia, Ksenia, she knew exactly what You wanted her to do

Walking in snowfall without any shoes

An example of walking in truth
