The Earth breathes out, the world breathes in

Virus takes hold, skies clear, nature springs

The battle brave on the front line strive 

Patients fight for the ruah of life

 

What's important, what remains

Life will be different, never the same

 

Remember the one who our diseases bore,

In the resurrection makes new, restore.
