How long O sovereign LORD
How long must I mourn
Many days now I’ve worn sackcloth
Ashes still crown my head
My act was not of rebellion
An accident with none at fault
Tho it was not against you I acted
Still I must give my penitence
Mustn’t there be some punishment
Am I allowed to go unpunished?
Can a smile now caress my face?
After 7 days may I laugh again?
In a month can I again sing?
Speak LORD I’m desperate to hear
There is no peace in my life
Joy a forgotten and past virtue
I must choose this day to live
My past must be just that
I have asked for humble forgiveness
With payment of my peace paid
I now return to your service
Confident my promise is secure
Knowing your love for me unshaken
People are again looking form a smile
My desire for punishment now ended
Today I start to live again
