Words in lyric format:
Had you believed in Me
O wayward generation
every one of you would have followed
the example of this youth
who stood in rank above most of you
and willingly would have sacrificed himself in My path
in My path
in My path
The day will come when you will have recognized Me
The day will come when you will have recognized Me
The day will come when you will have recognized Me
The day will come when you will have recognized Me
Me
that day I shall have ceased to be with you
that day I shall have ceased to be with you
to be with you
with you
to be with you
