My Lord, you chose to die to set me free
You have paid with your blood for my eternal debt
My tears pour when I saw those arrows pierced on your body
My Lord, you have suffered yourself to give me life
My Lord, you have carried that heavy cross on your shoulder
and walked away to the death to set me free from all the sins.
My Lord, please bring your light unto me to worship you
Let me have your spirit to be with me to chase all the evils
Let me have your guidance to walk on my right path
Let me improve myself day by day and pray you for ever
Let me listen to all your precepts and make my life happy
Let me live my life in your embrace
Let me receive your love for me to give others love
My Lord your love is infinite. Therefore, let me stay
close to you because you have taken my life
