Lament for Hope

Words

IE Ihowa Horahia to Aroha Ki runga te hunga E whai ana te ora Wetekina mai e koe Kia kore e pouri tonu Hei puritia ki nga pou Ko te murua hara Me te whai whakaaro e Ko te mea nui atu tonu e Ko te aroha

IIOh Lord forgive me For those things I’ve done And spread your love upon The lonely repentant one And I won’t ever regret Those ugly moments when I was at my worst Because they taught me how to Forgive my brother And to love again And show my fellow man True compassion
