We have strayed from your ways, like lost sheep,

following the desires of our own hearts:

Lord have mercy.

Lord have mercy.

We have closed our ears to the voice of the Good Shepherd,

lured by other voices, other ways of life :

Christ have mercy.

Christ have mercy. 

We have turned away from your fold,

forgetting your self-giving love:

Lord have mercy.

Lord have mercy.
