Perdão

Yes, suffering I caused you, oh God!
And by my example the weak stumbled
And I did not walk in your good ways
Forgiveness, Lord!

Yes, vain and futile was my speech
And I did not show love to my brother
I did not want to help the sufferer
Forgiveness, Lord!

Yes, negligent was my way of living
Not willing to fight for you
And I did not want to be firm in your work
Forgiveness, Lord!

Listen, oh God, to my prayer
And come deliver me from vile sin
Renew this poor heart!
Amen, Lord!
