Deo Vero

God from God
Light from Light
True God from True God
He came down from heaven
He ascended into heaven

I am nothing
Nothing, no one
Not at the beginning
Not at the end
So it is written
The book of my days
I am ragged
Adorning You

Reign in my kingdom
Where the austere life reigns
That I then created
But I shall inherit
What God has for me
Lord, have mercy
Christ, have mercy

Finally, between us, an empire falls
Behold from darkness to light
Life rises again
And I shall understand
What God has
What God has for me
