Select language to translate this lyric
We have not known you as we ought nor bowed before your power
The things of Earth have filled our thoughts and wasted many hours
We have not feared you as we ought nor stopped to give you praise
By countless words and deeds and thoughts your love we have betrayed
Lord forgive us
By the mighty cross
And from above rain down your love
Lord break our hearts by the grace you impart
And give us strength to fight this war
We have not served you as we ought
Commands are left undone
Our works with wickedness our fraud
Our battles scarcely won
We have not loved you as we ought
Nor chearished saving grace
Your presence we have coldely sopped
The world we have embraced
Lord forgive us
By the mighty cross
And from above rain down your love
Lord break our hearts by the grace you impart
And give us strength to fight this war
Lord forgive us
By the mighty cross
And give strength to fight this war
