Your steadfast love
endures forever.
Jesus had compassion
on the crowds, harassed
and helpless as they were,
sheep without a shepherd.
If we give away all
that we have to the crowds,
but do not have love,
we give nothing.
Can we not learn Christ's
lesson and obey his words?
Fulfill your purpose
for us: to love as you love--
O God of steadfast
love, do not forsake us.
