You whose ways are high above earth,
Whose wisdom is not known,
To our Father who gave us birth,
We kneel before your throne.
Nighttime has fallen on us all.
Our world has gone astray.
Once again sword and shield we draw
To bring false peace our way.
The towers of wisdom we raised,
Where global leaders brawl,
The tiny Antichrists we praised
Have forsaken us all.
The fool has said there is no Grace
And we, who deemed him wise
How should we seek to see your face
When we believed in lies?
We who believed that you were dead
And scorned you yesterday,
How do we kneel in time of dread?
Spirit teach us to pray!
Grant us an undivided heart
That seeks no other thing.
Let us not tear ourselves apart!
Be now our Lord and King!
Let light into our darkness tell
Our deepest desperate prayer.
For, yet our souls in darkness dwell
We know that you are there.
