We can’t afford for hate to
give like hatred in return;
We can’t afford such flame,
and make it fiercer burn.
We can’t afford to lose the
soul for this world’s fleeting breath;
We can’t afford to barter life
in mad exchange for death.
But blind to good are we apart
from thee, all-seeing Lord;
Oh, grant us light that we may
know the things we can’t afford!
