We bow before you,
and seek your face
lessons of patience,
wisdom and grace

We seek the strength
to free our spirit
to weigh the hearts
of all their merit

Give us sight,
the blind to see
the kind of love
that sets us free

show us the difference
a friend from foe
to narrowly walk
the winding road

give us joy in simple song
to teach us all
the right
from wrong

remove the burdens
that weighs us down
and liberation's victory
we shall sound

separate the heard
the wheat from chaff
and we will follow
the shepherd's staff
