Oh Lord! You art thou creator divine
You’ve formed man in thy womb
An image so much like thou
I marvel at thou abundance of grace
We art so human so fragile
You spread your wings to scoop us
Thou warmth so enriching
My heart overwhelms with gratitude
Thou made me master of beasts and fishes
A dominion to care for your abode
In you every creature comforted
An abiding love penetrating my soul
Human freewill so divine you made
Thou didst not control our world
For thou children made free ever
A freedom that will last evermore
Alas! Humankind fall prey to violence
A violence to devour fellow humans
Dreadful is the thought of hatred
Soaked in blood is your abode
Lord! Love thy neighbour you said
Love is a distant dream
Hatred rules every human heart
Heart turned into a rugged rock
My Lord! I am drenched with tears
I’m chocked beneath spilled blood
Who can hear me weep
Wondrous Lord! Hear me cry
Prince of Peace bring peace into us
Let thy love be poured into our soul
Restore fallen humankind
We thy children worship thee
Ever after in thy kingdom
