Sufferance

Sufferance

I am a man, who knows affliction

From the rod of his anger

The one whom He has led and forced to walk

In darkness, not in the light

The thought of my homeless poverty

Is wormwood and gall

Remembering it over and over

Leaves my soul downcast within me

But the lord's rejection, does not last forever

Although He punishes, He forgives

In abundance of His mercies

You wrapped yourself in wrath and pursued us

You slew us and took no pity

You hid yourself into a cloud which prayers could not

pierce

Till the lord from heaven

Looks down and sees

My eyes torment my soul

At the sight of all the daughters of my city

Suffer... in ecstasy.
