Christ may free them

and bring them

to God's favour,

that, moved

by God's loving mercy,

they may turn away

from their sins

and open their hearts

to the divine life of grace.

- Lord, hear us.

ALL:
Lord, hear our prayer.

(School bell rings)

- Take these for you?

- Oh, I'm right.

to know he's special.

Alright! John, you're dropped.
