You are our life and our death.

You are the One who makes whole;

6. You are the One who has mercy;
You are our God, and our soul.

Whose Spirit helps me hear his call
To pray with him incessantly,
And ask him to forgive us all.

Taking up my cross each day,
Serving him by loving all humanity
Along the way.

Begging him to help us heal
This Eden, and its people, too.
