My heart sinks; my thoughts are in disarray.
How can this happen to my Lord, a man filled with compassion?
Is he now at the receiving end of a bitter agony?
Is there hope left for this generation? Is it all meaningless?
Will the next generation be purged into a raging fire?
Make it not so; place upon me your mighty hand, oh God.
Save us from the despair and hopelessness.
Make your light shine onto a new morning so that hope would not fade.
I am unworthy, and yet You give me something to pursue.
Allow my soul to receive its joy as it did once before.
