Text of first album, "Because You Love Me"
1. God Sought Me
1. God Has Found Me – (Бог меня отыскал)God has found me,
Among the cold rocks,
Among the lost roads,
Where I could perish.
But God has found me…
He has given me His own life,
And set me free from fetters.
So, I’m praising Him,
The glory forever and ever!
For He has given me His own life…
He is my Best Friend,
I am not afraid, when I’m with Him.
And I will tell everyone without concealing:
“Jesus loves me!”
For He is my Best Friend…
Even if the trouble comes,
Christ is always near.
He keeps me safe by His love, -
He is my hope and shield!
And even if the trouble comes…
2. When I'm Sad
2. When the sorrow – (Когда печаль) When the sorrow storms with a cold pain,And the winter is whirling in the soul.
It seems to me then that my heart “has caught cold”,
And my soul hastens to the Doctor.
Refrain:
Jesus, Jesus – You are my strong tower,
Jesus, Jesus, You are my peace.
In You, in You alone, there is a fountain of life,
It’s only You, Jesus, Who gives me love.
When I open my heart in prayer,
All the pain is taken away to the skies forever!
And, as a light butterfly,
the spring flies about in the soul,
And my soul sings unto the Lord!
3. Iron clouds of the mind
3. Leaden clouds of the thoughts – (Мыслей свинцовые тучи)Leaden clouds of thoughts,
Cover the sky.
But I know that the best is,
What my Father desires.
Refrain: Oh, my Lord,
You tenderly hold me in Your strong arms,
And You keep me as priceless treasure!
I am often as a child,
As a silly and blind kitten.
Crying, screaming or being silent,
Not taking notice of Your immense love…
4. Life
4. Life – (Жизнь)Life!
I’ve got life now!
Jesus Christ gave it to me!
He redeemed us from sin and rose from the dead!
And is now with Father in Heaven!
Refrain: I’m singing in Heaven
This song for Christ,
La-la-la-la-la!
And now in Heaven
I’m in Father’s arms,
La-la-la-la-la!
He loves me so much,
He will never leave me.
I belong to Christ
And I praise Him.
He is the Truth and Bread,
Resurrection and Light,
The way to Heaven!
Recitative:
Life …
I’ve got life now!
Jesus Christ gave it to me!
He wants to give it to you, too. Why?
Because, Jesus loves you so much!
5. It's only rain
5. All this is just rain – (Всё это просто дождь)
When I come to you,
Rain will impinge upon the roofs.
When I come to you,
You won’t understand what happened.
Refrain: All this is just rain,
Drops of love in bad weather,
This rain in spring,
Given by God to be happy!
This day of spring,
Everything we’ve dreamed about,
The strings of my old guitar,
Will sing to you.
Just look out of the window,
The drops are drawing the picture of spring.
Where we are together,
And I’m kissing you.
6. Autumn
6. Autumn – (Осень)Autumn has come suddenly, as usually.
Nature put on its yellow dress.
And the geese were chattering something in pursuit of
The loud and leaving summer.
The leaves were falling on the damp ground,
And on the pavement they fell in a town.
Leaves that give shade in summer –
Carefree couples trampled them down.
People are passing by; they don’t look under their feet,
They trample down the last gift of nature.
Stop on your ways,
And recognize the years that passed in leaves.
Not to blush with shame, thinking of the past,
Begin the new life with Jesus!
Only in Christ is the real stability,
Savior will give you a heavenly happiness!
7. You're my Holy GOD
7. You`re my Holy GOD – (Ти – мій Бог Святий)
You’re my Holy GOD,
I’m going to You
And I know that I’ll find peace in You!
I will find rest on Your chest,
And I know that in You is eternal joy.
You are loving Father for Your kids
And Your love is for all people!
8. Mama
8. Mom – (Мама)Hello, Mom!
How are you?
It’s time for autumn rains…
Is your health poor again?
Haven’t you some time to lie down for a while, as usual?
How many years you haven’t slept enough,
There were a lot of sorrows.
Refrain: Mom, Mom, Mom…
I pray for you every day.
I believe one day, Mom, you will say:
“Jesus lives in my heart!”
Mother loves her children,
There are no like them in the whole world.
And there is no worse pain than son’s death.
But Son of God went on the cross,
To die; it was His free will.
The sky above the Earth grew dark from pain…
You know, Mom, God is holy,
And His justice is holy, too,
There is a payment for each sin of yours and mine.
But Jesus paid for all,
The way to Heaven is open now,
But I feel anxiety in my soul...
9. I am not of this world
9. I am not of this world – (Я не от мира сего)I am not of this world,
Therefore I often face suffering and pain.
But Jesus tells me to take courage,
As He overcame this world!
This world!
Jesus overcame this world!
Refrain: Now no one will be able to separate me
From the love of God, the love of Christ!
And no one, never,
Will be able to snatch out of God’s hand!
Sometimes it happens,
As if I’m walking again in the wrong way.
But rejecting this lie, I recall,
That Christ is always with me! Always with me!
Christ is always with me!
God suffered for us,
For He loves us so much, loves us and waits!
And if God justified, who’ll then condemn,
Chosen people of God? People of God!
Chosen people of God!
10. You know, again i've come to you
10. You know… - (Знаешь)You know, I came to You again…
You know, I feel relieved.
You are close to me, not far away,
We’ll walk together again.
I know, I’ve always been Your son.
I know, I just didn’t understand it.
I laid the burden on my back,
I thought You longed for sacrifice.
You know, I couldn’t love such God!
I couldn’t carry my burden.
My life became poor and miserable,
That’s why I couldn’t serve. I’m sorry.
Now I know only God like this:
His mercy and love endures forever!
Only in such God there is joy and freedom,
Only in such God the person is wonderful!
11. You'll never betray me
11. You will never betray – (Потому, что Ты любишь меня)You will never betray me,
You’ll never leave me in troubled days.
No one will snatch out of Your hand,
That is because You love me!
In the night watch – You are with me,
Giving me strength on my way home.
You are crying with me, when I have trouble,
That is because You love me!
Refrain: In the storm and hurricane,
In severe cold, rains and heat,
Jesus is next to me,
Because You love me!
If in my soul I forget You,
You pray for me day and night.
For You will never betray me,
That is because You love me!
Because You love me,
My heart praises You!
I trust myself into Your hands,
That is because I love You!
12. Blue heavens
12. Blue Skies – (Синие небеса)Blue skies, white clouds,
The birds are singing and flying arout…
There is somewhere my dear home,
Dear and close,
Where I’m loved and waited for.
There will never be again, there will never be again,
There will be no tears again.
I will be shepherded and led to the calm waters,
By Jesus Christ, my Shepherd!
Refrain:
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah to Christ!
Everyone rejoices, celebrates, and sings glory to God!
Honor and glory, power and strength, to our God,
Who is on the throne, Who is on the throne,
Аnd to Christ, the Lamb!
Christ is coming soon! Christ is coming soon!
Christ is coming soon!
To accept me, to embrace me,
And to bring me to my Father’s home!
There will never be again, there will never be again,
There will be no tears again.
I will be shepherded and led to the calm waters,
By Jesus Christ, my Shepherd!
13. You have chosen me
13. I am chosen by You – (Ты меня избрал)I am chosen by You, justified, and glorified,
I don’t want to live for myself anymore
Neither glitter of the cars,
Nor the cozy light of houses,
Be replacement, oh Lord, of Your love!
Refrain: I do really want to glorify Christ,
With all my life, to glorify Christ,
And in my heart, to glorify Christ!
You have put a dream in my heart:
To tell others about Your love,
So together we’ll sing of Christ’s Name on the Earth.
Hundred times I fell - You held,
Faithfully You did await,
You were comforting, tenderly hugging to chest!
Neither let statutes nor taboo, rule over men,
Only mercy, only faith, and only love!
I wish I could be quiet, so that I can glorify
My God, not by words, but with my life!
