Meaning:

1. You said,
“I will come quickly,
I will prepare a home for you,
and then I will come again.”
O Lord, must we wait so long
for You to fulfill that promise?

2. Your children are surrounded
and afflicted by suffering.
Must Your coming be delayed
when we long to see the home You have prepared
and finally find rest?

3. With the hands that bear
the wounds You suffered,
must Your coming be delayed
when we long for You to wipe away
the tears of Your beloved people?

4. We endure sorrow
that seems never to end.
Must You delay Your coming
when we long for You to arrive
and take up the rule of Your kingdom?
