Lyrics by Claire Sharminni Thamboo
Music by Evelyn Lee
Verse 1:
We are your people Lord,
and you have told us,
to be merciful, just like you.
To forgive in love,
as you forgave us
You said, “Don’t judge or condemn,”
and we have failed you.
Pre-chorus:
Yet you love us so
you have never once stopped loving us.
Even though the errors in our ways,
crucify you everyday.
Chorus:
So remember not against us
the iniquities of the past;
and may your boundless compassion
be the balm that calms our souls.
For we have drifted far, O Lord.
Be our compass, lead us home.
With your great power free us,
free us to be more like you.
Verse 2:
We are your people Lord,
and you have told us,
to be generous, just like you.
You have reminded us,
your wealth is boundless.
Yet we of little faith,
we have failed you.
