Words of the song edit

Our God and the God of our ancestors
Forgive us
We are sorry
Atone for us
Because we are your people and you are our God
We are your sons and you are our father
We are your servants and you are our master
We are your people and you are divided
We are your property and you are our destiny
We are your sheep and you are our shepherd
We are your vineyard and you are our overseer
We are your action and you are our creator
We are your wife and you are our uncle
We are your virtue and you are our God
We are your people and you are our king
We are your governors and you are our governors
We are brave and you are kind and kind
We are hard-necked and you are long-nosed
we are full of iniquity and you are full of mercy
We are on our right as a passing shadow and you are he and your years will not fail[1]
