    No storm can shake my inmost calm while to that rock I'm clinging
    Since Love is Lord of Heaven and Earth
    How can I keep from singing.

    Technically, I'm a day early... but with everything going on tomorrow I thought I'd post this now, in case I'll forget otherwise :o



    Prepare the way, O Zion!
    Ye awful deeps, rise high;
    Sink low, ye towering mountains,
    The Lord is drawing nigh;
    The righteous King of glory,
    Foretold in sacred story.

    Refrain

    O blest is He that came
    In God the Father’s name
    .

    O Zion, He approacheth,
    Thy Lord and king for aye!
    Strew palms where He advanceth,
    Spread garments in His way.
    God’s promise faileth never,
    Hosanna sound forever!

    Fling wide thy portals, Zion
    And hail thy glorious king;
    His tidings of salvation
    To every people bring,
    Who, waiting yet in sadness,
    Would sing His praise in gladness.


    According to the gospels in the Bible this happened right before Easter and is therefore celebrated on Palm Sunday, but traditionally also first Advent Sunday

    Translated from Swedish wikipedia in order to give some context ;)
    Happy first Advent Sunday tomorrow!! :)

    This is either Glorious Madness or Mad Gloriousness of one of Church's well known saints: St. Joan of Arc.



    Cohen's lyrics make it, as always, up to the listener.

    At the moment, I love listening to:

    Brady Toops - Oh for Grace

    Life Worship - Dance Again

    Bethel Music - No Longer Slaves

    (Can't post links to Youtube as I'm still a noob)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 300 ✭✭Isaiah


    Bethel Music and Kari Jobe - Forever

    I can't post links yet but, I can post some lyrics -


    The moon and stars they wept
    The morning sun was dead
    The Savior of the world was fallen
    His body on the cross
    His blood poured out for us
    The weight of every curse upon him

    One final breath He gave
    As Heaven looked away
    The Son of God was laid in darkness
    A battle in the grave
    The war on death was waged
    The power of hell forever broken

    The ground began to shake
    The stone was rolled away
    His perfect love could not be overcome
    Now death where is your sting
    Our resurrected King has rendered you defeated

    Forever, He is glorified
    Forever, He is lifted high
    Forever, He is risen
    He is alive
    He is alive

    За тихой рекою

    За тихой рекою, берёзовой рощей
    Распустится первый весенний цветок
    И я загадаю желание попроще
    И перекрестившись взгляну на Восток

    Окрасится небо багряной зарёю
    И вечное солнце над миром взойдёт
    И белая птица взлетит над землёю
    И Божие прощение с небес принесёт

    И что-то большое откроется сердцу
    Такое что жизнью моей не объять
    И станет спокойно, и сладко как в детстве
    Когда обнимала меня моя мать

    Молитва святая слезами прольётся
    Христовой любовью исполнится грусть
    И в это мгновение душа прикоснётся
    К великой вселенной по имени Русь

    “Beyond The Quiet River”

    Beyond the quiet river and birch grove
    The first spring flower is bursting into bloom
    And I am simply making a wish
    And having crossed myself, I will glance to the East

    The sky will be coloured (lit: colour itself) by scarlet dawn
    And the eternal sun will rise over the world
    And a white bird will fly over the earth
    And bring God’s forgiveness from the heavens

    And something big will make itself known to my heart
    Such that it is not [possible] to take in in my lifetime
    And it will become peaceful and sweet like in childhood
    When my mother hugged me

    A solemn prayer will flow with tears
    Sadness will be filled with Christ’s love
    And at that moment my soul will touch
    The grand entirety with the name of Russia
