My People, What Have I Done To You?
How Have I Offended You?
Answer Me!
Holy God, Holy And Strong!
Holy Immortal One, Have Mercy.

I Led You Out Of Egypt, From Slavery To Freedom
But You Led Your Saviour To The Cross.

Holy God, Holy And Strong!
Holy Immortal One, Have Mercy.

For Forty Years I Led You Safely Through The Desert.
I Fed You With Manna From Heaven,
And Brought You To A Land Of Plenty;
But You Led Your Saviour To The Cross.

Holy God, Holy And Strong!
Holy Immortal One, Have Mercy.

What More Could I Have Done For You?
I Planted You As My Fairest Vine,
But You Yielded Only Bitterness:
When I Was Thirsty You Gave Me Vinegar To Drink,
And With A Lance You Pierced Your Saviour’s Side.

Holy God, Holy And Strong!
Holy Immortal One, Have Mercy.

For Your Sake I Scourged Your Captors And Their Firstborn Sons,
But You Brought Your Scourges Down On Me.

My People, What Have I Done To You?
How Have I Offended You?
Answer Me!

I Led You From Slavery To Freedom
And Drowned Your Captors In The Sea,
But To Your High Priests You Handed Me Over.

My People, What Have I Done To You?
How Have I Offended You?
Answer Me!

I Opened The Sea Before You,
But You Opened My Side With A Spear.

My People, What Have I Done To You?
How Have I Offended You?
Answer Me!

I Led You On Your Way In A Pillar Of Cloud,
But You Led Me To Pilate’s Court.

My People, What Have I Done To You?
How Have I Offended You?
Answer Me!

With Manna In The Desert I Bore You Up,
But You Struck Me Down And Scourged Me.

My People, What Have I Done To You?
How Have I Offended You?
Answer Me!

I Gave You Saving Water From The Rock,
But You Gave Me Gall And Vinegar To Drink.

My People, What Have I Done To You?
How Have I Offended You?
Answer Me!

For You I Stuck Down The Kings Of Cannan,
But With A Reed You Struck My Head.

My People, What Have I Done To You?
How Have I Offended You?
Answer Me!

I Gave You A Royoal Sceptre,
But You Gave Me A Crown Of Thorn.

My People, What Have I Done To You?
How Have I Offended You?
Answer Me!

I Raised You To The Height Of Majesty,
But High On A Cross, You Raised Me.

My People, What Have I Done To You?
How Have I Offended You?
Answer Me!
