A sanction to live
We live every day dying with hope
With mysteries and misfortune still we cope
They plan us doom to be with death
We are sanction by grace to live on earth
Days of anguish of shall soon reverse
For pains of memory of such shall soon depart
We will be favoured without need to plead
Many dear plans but we are sanction to live
