Kyrie-Eleison

Your holy presence
my spirit longs for
but my flesh rebels

Kyrie-Eleison.*

Memories of duties neglected
prompting of your Spirit
ignored and disobeyed

Kyrie-Eleison.

When the poor and needy
knocked at my door
now I know it was You

Kyrie-Eleison.

Thank You for grace
mercy and forgiveness
Here I am on my knees

Kyrie-Eleison.

*Greek: Lord, have mercy.
