Kyrie Eleison

For the rebellion deep within our heart
Which darkens our deeds and corrupts our thoughts
And turns our words into poisonous darts -
Lord, have mercy upon us.

For the fleshly lust which defiles us all
And the lust of the eyes which deceives us
And that pride of life from which we all fall -
Christ, have mercy upon us.

We have strayed from Thy path like wayward sheep
And righteousness dwells not within us.
We look to Thy grace and fall at Thy feet
Crying:

Lord, have mercy upon us.
