431 Do Not Punish Us

431.
Do Not Punish Us

Oh Father God, look how frail we are to deserve Your wrath
Our sins are overwhelming like we are soaked in blood bath
Have mercy because sometimes we don't know what we do
Have mercy because we call upon You
Your punishment is the most painful, everlasting
Hell is full, its screams are deafening
Cover us with Your Holy Spirit like an impenetrable shield!
