There is too much rubbish in our lives;
when we try to bear our burdens,
it's in the way; our strength fails.

Clear the rubbish away, O God,
and help us wash our robes;
prosper for us the work of our hands.
Even if we have come out of a great ordeal,
plant your kingdom mustard seed in our hearts;
let your favor be upon us.
