We
are your children now;
we
do not know what we will become;
but
we are your children.
As
your children we hope in your deliverance.
Even
if you do not deliver us, we are your children;
and
you regard the lowly.
Your
Spirit descended upon Jesus;
may
your Spirit descend upon us.
We
need no other defense.
