Members in a Church Event

Out of the wilderness of cuffs we were brought forth

Out of the desert of painful agony we were brought. 

. 

From the deep pit of torture we were raised

From Egyptian's death hollows our souls were lifted up. 

. 

Out of the prison of endless wants we got acquitted 

Out of the big houses of hardship we received liberation. 

. 

From the pit of hellish experiences we were freed

From clamours and wails of we obtained serenity . 

. 

Out of the royal city of hades we acquired a letter of transfer 

Out of dependence we moved into the planet of independence. 

. 

Why do we still walk in gross darkness?

Why do we still bathe in the mud of slavery? 

. 

Alas! Why are these waters colored red? 

Why does the wind howl in melancholy? 

. 

Why does the heaven refuse to rain down rain? 

Why does the sunstand still high up the sky? 

. 

Why does selfishness reign over loveness? 

Why does darkness govern our lightness? 

. 

The ancient path of life we give not our feet to tread

Our lives we did refuse to lay in sacrifice. 

. 

Away, away, away, we have turned our backs! 

The Source of solution we've forgotten.

. 

Return, return, return each soul to Him

That His stormy wind of rage may be silenced. 

. 

Let's cry loud and take this task up to dominate

To find the face of God through prayers. 

. 

In rightness, let's wave off apathy and detestation 

Cease your lips from despicable speaks about our palace.

. 

Let's free ourselves from the obvious shackles of evil

Let's be forth our light, let darkness flee.

.

Let's reason together to make our Jerusalem better

Let's love in oneness of unity unpartitioned. 

.

Rise and take your place, Celestial Church. 

Dominate, Celestial!
