Lyrics Вадим Ятковский - Сколько раз

How many times, my Lord, did you raise me?
How many times did you give my hand to me?
How many times did you pour out, like balm, grace?
How many times, how many times - I can't count ...

How many mercies in life have you generously gave?
How much tender love did you put in my heart?
How much pain and torment on the cross endured?
How much blood spilled for me?

Well, and me? .. How much did I lose on the way?
How many times I didn't go away from you - ran away?
How many times have I wandered through the deserts of the mind,
And the sinful darkness was thickening over me?

How many times have I weak from painful thoughts?
How many times did not want to get to my knees?
How many times have fascinated me fuss?
And earthly affairs obscured Christ ...

How many times I could help people suffering
So, how you helped me, my king and my god!
But I kept my heart from unnecessary care,
How many I did not forgive, how I loved little ...

How many times were I ashamed to say about you?
How many times, how many times - I can't count ...
How many times the enemy bent my head to the ground,
How many times did you make you suffocate in dust,

He strove to break hope and faith,
And with you, only the thread was eating me ...
It would be possible to tear her, not to tear,
Could you mix my body with the earth,

But you made a thread a tugchy rope,
You gave me strength and I was again yours.
You opened the invisible world before me,
You lit your soul again with celestial fire,

And all earthly dreams burned in me,
I lived only on you, and lived in me - you.
How much happiness, peace and sweet tears
You gave again and again to me, my wonderful Christ.

And now I remember, before the sky in debt,
All that is so ashamed to remember and that shore ...
I am amazed how you were patient to me,
How you cherished me, how doubly forgave me.

And in prayer I bow my knees: My God!
The king of the universe, the creator of hearts and worlds!
How many times should I sing the glory to you?
How many times should you stand before you in a prayer?

How many times should it be forgiven and distant?
How many enemies should be loved like you?
No, Lord, I should not - I want, I want,
I will fly to you on the wings of prayer,

And at your feet, God, in humility, I tend to
I will bring my gratitude, Jesus.
You worthy of praise, you are worthy of alone
Almighty Savior, Soul of the Lord ...

You are my prayer, I know, you hear now,
Eternal God, to glorify you how many times,
how many times?..
