lyrics

If I have walked in vanity
or my heart has followed my eyes
Or if my hands have been defiled
let others eat what I have sown

Or if I have look on another woman
let another man sleep with my wife
That would be a crime!
A sin to be judged
with the fire that burns to Abaddon

If I've denied justice for the slave
when the same One made us both
If I've denied the poor
or eaten a morsel alone
or lifted my hand against the orphan
let my arm fall from my shoulder

If I have put my trust in gold
or the fortune that I gained
Or if my heart was enticed by the moon
and my hand threw a kiss from my mouth

If I have covered my sin like Adam
hiding my guilt in my heart
for I feared the crowd

If only someone would hear me!
I'd sign my defense
and wear it as a crown

If my land cries out
and all its furrows wet with tears
If I have eaten the stolen fruit
May only weeds grow up here
