Kyrie
Oh Lord my God have mercy on me
The night it comes and darkness I see
Kyrios, Christos, Savior and Lord
Kyrie Eleison by your Word
The pain it overwhelms again
The bed it holds again and again
The circles grow darker around her eyes
Kyrie Eleison, Lord I cry
I know the spirit will one day rise
There will be an end to anguished cries
I try not to surrender to despair
Kyrie Eleison hear my prayer
The sadness comes on like the night
I'm left without the strength to fight
She lies awake and then asleep
Kyrie Eleison her soul to keep
And when there are no more words
Did I do all I could for her
I do not want to say good-bye
Kyrie Eleison hear my cry
