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.
VERSE 2
Holy God, Holy and strong, Holy Immortal God have mercy on us.
VERSE 3
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 4
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 you pierced your saviour with a lance.
