When we are deeply
troubled
and we pour out our
soul before you,
then rescue us from
the power of darkness;
transfer us into the
kingdom of your beloved Son.
He has brought about
the rising and the falling of many
and has been a sign
that was opposed so that the
inner thoughts of
many could be revealed.
The trees of the
forest sing for joy
because he is coming
to
judge the earth.
