Contrição

Forgive me again, Lord
Once again I closed myself
Within my lack of love
I mutilated Your image

Forgive me, Lord
I did not live my vocation
Forgive me, Lord
I did not love my brother

I should have been Your apostle
But I sinned by omission
I also settled
I failed Your mission

Forgive me, Lord
I did not live my vocation
Forgive me, Lord
I did not love my brother

I should have been a good disciple
But I silenced my voice
Masking the ideal
Without preaching Your peace

Forgive me, Lord
I did not live my vocation
Forgive me, Lord
I did not love my brother
