"Zeige uns, Herr, deine Allmacht und Güte" (Show us, Lord, your might and goodness) is a Christian hymn of penitence.
[1][2] It appeared in the Gotteslob in the second edition in 2013 as GL 272, in the section for Lent, the time of penitence and fasting before Easter (Österliche Bußzeit – Fastenzeit).
The first stanza is a prayer, for the ability to experience God's might and goodness, and to receive the fire of the Holy Spirit to turn away the anxiety in us.
In the second stanza, the singers realize themselves as tools of God's promise (Werkzeuge deiner Verheißung), and request to be able to act motivated by faith and love.
They address God as the answer to desperate questions (Antwort bist du in verzweifelten Fragen), and request to be taught forgiveness, trust and patience.
