Bending, unending, they call us to the floor
Self-righteous and lawful, their hearts aren’t everlasting
Prideful unloving, they are cold to the poor
They show them the door
Your fasting, not lasting, does not please our God
Adoring law, thine heart not raw, seeing others no more
We all are sinners and with all through darkness must trod
In the pain of our travels we need Love all the more
Lest we be shown the door
Lest we be shown the door
Repent, repent, the Lord calls us to repent
See them, free them, those whose backs are sore
Rend thine hearts and go forth where thou art sent
Open thine hearts to let God in to thy core
To walk through His door
Fasting, fasting, it is good to be fasting
While giving, and praying, to our God whom we adore
Giving thee, Lord, a spirit contrite, and lasting
Humbly seeking the celestial shore
Through every Church’s door
Truly in the Spring our life is to be changed
We blossom in the good and leave behind the deranged
This desert will call us to an oasis, and through a door
To the Father, Son, and Spirit who bless us, His poor
Lest we be shown the door
Repent, repent, the Lord calls us to repent
See them, free them, those whose backs are sore
Rend thine hearts and go forth where thou art sent
Open thine hearts to let God in to thy core
To walk through His door
Fasting, fasting, it is good to be fasting
While giving, and praying, to our God whom we adore
Giving thee, Lord, a spirit contrite, and lasting
Humbly seeking the celestial shore
Through every Church’s door
Truly in the Spring our life is to be changed
We blossom in the good and leave behind the deranged
This desert will call us to an oasis, and through a door
To the Father, Son, and Spirit who bless us, His poor
