God, please save me, your child
Free me from the weight of sin
Release me from my thoughts so wild
For I am your sacred kin

God, please have mercy on me
Guide me with your radiant light
Mercy, come to me and see
That I am stricken with malicious blight

Where are you in my time of need?
Have you abandoned me, your son?
In me grows sin's vile seeds
So shine on me, oh radiant sun

I can not hear your voice
The sun does not comfort me now
Is this really your choice?
To break your familial vow?

I am your child, Father of all!
But I can not see you nor hear you
You gave me sin and let me fall!
So tell me, is it true?

Have you abandoned us?
Or is it just me?
Have I broken your trust?
Father, answer my plea!

I am sick with sin!
The root of all evil and lies most true!
So tell me, Father, how do I win?
When this sin within me came from you!

I have been abandoned and replaced!
Others seem to receive your all
With this impossible choice I faced
I couldn't help but fall
