If this is the life we live
The kind of fasting we have chosen
To loose the chains of injustice
And untie the yoke of burden

To share our food with the hungry
To give the oppressed freedom
To provide the poor and wandering with shelter
And when we see the naked, clothe them

Then the light shall break forth like the dawn
And healing shall quickly arise
And your victory shall go before you
And the glory of the Lord behind

Then you will call and He will answer
You will cry for help, and He will say: Here I am
If you remove the yoke from among you
The pointing of the finger and the speaking of evil

Then the light shall break forth like the dawn
And healing shall quickly arise
And your victory shall go before you
And the glory of the Lord behind

And He will guide you always
And satisfy in scorched lands
And make you strong like a watered garden
Like a spring whose waters never end

If you offer your food to the hungry
And meet the needs of those in pain
Then your light will rise in the darkness
And your midnight will be like midday

Then the light shall break forth like the dawn
And healing shall quickly arise
And your victory shall go before you
And the glory of the Lord behind
And the glory of the Lord behind
