We are anxious for ourselves
and for others who are perishing.
By word or by deed we rejected you,
but in deep trouble now we come back.
Yes, God, you are the one who made us;
and well you know it was from dust.
Like flowers we have flourished;
save the flowers coming after.
and for others who are perishing.
By word or by deed we rejected you,
but in deep trouble now we come back.
Yes, God, you are the one who made us;
and well you know it was from dust.
Like flowers we have flourished;
save the flowers coming after.
