Through your kindness, my gathered sorrow was about to scatter.
Through your kindness my scattered sorrows are brought together
With your tenderness, there was no fear of life slipping away.
With your affection, my life's passing is no longer feared

If a breeze from your door were to scatter dust
Were a breeze to blow from your door, even in Hellfire
into Hell’s fire, that fire would become the water of life.
It would create the water of life within the flames
