For promised shelter and for aid
I left my son, gave up my throne
Unaware of being betrayed
There's no one left to call my own
I do not claim to understand
Laws I've never seen
I dispute the court of a foreign land
I'm still a queen
Lord God, my Father
Answer my plea
I beg you, my Saviour
To lift me, be free
Chained and imprisoned
Faithful to Thee
In weakness I'm crying
For lost the time forever is near
I cannot walk without assistance
Commands are no more mine to give
My faith kept safely at a distance
I've just a few more days to live
I do not desire vengeance
For Judith's sword I've seen
In my end is my beginning
I'm still a queen
Lord God, my Father
Answer my plea
I beg you, my Saviour
To lift me, be free
Chained and imprisoned
Faithful to Thee
In weakness I'm crying
For lost the time forever is near
