Call nobody your own
Call nobody your own.Look, your own doubt-son
Has deserted you.
Look, your own jealousy-daughter
Has strangled you.
Look, your own impurity-husband
Has buried you.
Only call God your own.
Look, He has resurrected you:
He is feeding you,
He is energising you,
He is immortalising you.
