I offer you my shoulder,
to cry, to laugh, to give,
when no one in life
teaches you how to dwell.
The greatest gift on earth,
to cherish life,
and to make love’s gift,
every living moment.
The gates are open now
carefully I bear my cross,
receiving your gift, Jesus,
Your cross in pain you carried.
I repent the day
I didn’t climb your path,
when you gave me your hand,
and I turned it down.
For a world of pleasures
I descended my path,
today for a world of pain
Lead my hardship path.
English Translation by Zorin Diaconescu
