As if 
To remind me 
Of past sorrows, 
The plaintive cry of a curlew 
In the distance.

Failing of sins afflict the soul within.
Jesus carries the life of the law in you.
Be the wailing of sorrows in prayer.
For Jesus sees them there.

Show us how you feel with a frown
Then moan and complain
Let tears fall like rain
Until all of your sorrows drown
