What can I say for you O daughter of Jerusalem? What can I say for you Your ruin is vast as the sea vast as the sea Chorus: So you cry, cry out in the night, Pour out your heart like water let tears stream down like a torrent day and night! So you cry, in prayer to the Lord for the saving of your children, Who stumble for want of knowledge And lack of sight And so you cry Lord have mercy Christ have mercy Lord have mercy On me Your prophets have led you astray now Tell me where was the word of truth? They filled their purses with money But their speeches only confused. What can I say for you O daughter of Jerusalem? What can I say for you Your ruin is vast as the sea Chorus: And so you cry, cry out in the night, Pour out your heart like water let tears stream down like a torrent day and night! So you cry, in prayer to the Lord for the saving of your children, Who stumble for want of knowledge And lack of sight And so you cry Lord have mercy Christ have mercy Lord have mercy On me
