Full Lyrics
[CHORUS]
My people, my people,
What have I done to you?
How have I offended you?
Answer me.
[VERSE 1]
I led you out of Egypt from slavery to freedom,
But you led your saviour to the cross.
[REFRAIN]
Holy God,
Holy and strong,
Holy immortal God,
Have mercy on us.
[VERSE 2]
For forty years I led you safely through the desert,
Yes! I led you safely through the desert.
I fed you with manna from heaven,
I brought you to a land, a land of plenty.
But you led your saviour to the cross.
[VERSE 3]
What more could I have done for you?
I planted you as my pricest vine,
But you yielded only bitterness.
[VERSE 4]
When I was thirsty you gave me vinegar to drink,
And you pierced your saviour with a lance.
