Why is your face downcast why do you look away
I know in your heart you want to come my way
But something ties you down
That something that you feel will never change

Place in me a clean heart and renew my mind
Make me a tower of strength before my enemies
And (my face) a mirror to your eyes*
I have been faithful to you until now what makes you think that I would change
what makes you think that I would change
I've been with you since the day you saw the sun
I know exactly what you need
Place your hope in me and you shall be fulfilled
