Kyrie Eleison

Published Works

Lord, have mercy, have mercy on me. 
I have sinned, 
I have fallen, 
I am far from grace. 

Alone, deeply toned in repentance 
I merge my soul with yours, oh Lord. 
Mingling my emptiness with your 
promises, 
with your magnificent love. 

Lord have mercy, have mercy on me. 
I have destroyed 
the goodness 
you filled in me. 

Adrift in the world of human space 
I empty my heart of salvation, oh God. 
Masking my faith with indifference, 
with anger, with doubts. 

Lord have mercy, have mercy on me. 
I have become 
a caricature 
of a man. 

Lost in space, in the universe. 
My soul yearning for the peace 
I used to find in You. 

Seeking You, sweet Lord. 
Lord have mercy, have mercy on me.
