Lyrics:

Refrain: ||: Turn to God in your need, :||
||: you shall live. :||

1. This is my prayer to you:
favor my plea.
In your great love, O God,
answer me.
Come with your help
and your kindness I pray:
be merciful. Turn my way!

2. Here in my poverty, haunted by pain,
I beg you hear me, raise me again.
Sweet is your name on my heart
taking wing.
Lifted in glory, I sing.

3. The poor ones shall see
when you rescue my life;
their hearts, full of hope, will revive.
O God, hear the needy,
and do not disdain
your servants who weep in chains.

4. "Who-Never-Forgets"
will bring Zion to bloom.
God who is faithful will build us anew.
Our daughters and sons
willl receive from God's hand
this heritage: holy Land.
