I take this chance and revered Jesus
Who has taught us how to show mercy
You are the teacher and the good example of mercies
For before his birth, no mercy was known

That is why I take this chance to praise You
With this breath of life I praise you
You, the teacher of mercy, and it’s good example
I can’t cease to praise you Oh God

Before Christ, Moses was known
He taught us a tooth for a tooth
An eye for an eye
Evil was paid with evil

That is why I take this chance to praise You
With this breath of life I praise you
You, the teacher of mercy, and it’s good example
I can’t cease to praise you Oh God

You are the teacher of mercy, and it’s good example
If I would compare your teachings
Love your neighbour as you love yourself
And you addes that love is not selfish

That is why I take this chance to praise You
With this breath of life I praise you
You, the teacher of mercy, and it’s good example
I can’t cease to praise you Oh God

Mercies coach, the perfect representative
A sinner like me where would we have met?
Was it not for your mercies that brought you to earth
And when you met me, you were moved by compassion

That is why I take this chance to praise You
With this breath of life I praise you
You, the teacher of mercy, and it’s good example
I can’t cease to praise you Oh God

That is why I take this chance to praise You
With this breath of life I praise you
You, the teacher of mercy, and it’s good example
I can’t cease to praise you Oh God
