I have felt the touch of the Potter.
I have seen the works of our Savior.
I have heard the whisper of the Spirit,
the gentle wooing of God...
I have been filled with the Father’s love,
I have felt eternity in my hands...
 
I regret the sum of my sins, each one,
But I have been blessed richly,
I have been raised from the pit...
I have seen a glimpse of heaven...
God has always been with me,
I know this in my heart...

у цей час боротьби,

Впевнений у перемозі України,

I know this in my spirit,
I join in prayer with Taras
in this time of struggle,
under threat from Muscovy,
a horde from the east...
 
I am certain of Ukraine’s victory,
that a just peace will come:
your flag on every mast,
fields of wheat and sunflowers
beneath a blue sky...
 
You will be free, Ukraine!
This evil will not prevail.
Satan is in a bunker,
a madman is in the Kremlin,
He will be overthrown.

Claiming a page from His history,

fulfilling ancient prophecy
claiming His sovereignty...
 
The triumphal entrance
of our Lord, to reign, in victory,
riding on a humble donkey,
our humble Servant King...
 
Son of Solomon, Son of David,
Son of Man, Son of God,
entering Jerusalem as a King
to shouts of “Hosanna!”...
 
A week like no other
fulfilling divine purpose
come to save us, to heal,
come to be our sacrifice...
 
Riding on a humble donkey
our King of life, of glory,
come to shouts of “Hosanna!”...
before the cries, “Crucify!”...

Glory to the heroes
Honor — to every defender,
honor — to every volunteer
who stood in the breach...
 
Honor of the nation,
united into one people,
invincible before the enemy
until victory is achieved...
 
Glory to Ukraine
standing strong today
for four years they have not been defeated.
They will prevail.

Героям слава
Честь — кожному захиснику,
шана — кожному волонтеру
який стояв у проломі...
 
Честь нації,
об'єднались в один народ,
незламний перед ворогом
поки не буде здобута перемога...
 
Слава Україні
міцно стоячи сьогодні
чотири роки їх не перемогли.
Вони переважатимуть.
