Prayer for Ukraine
This is a beautiful song! In English, it goes something like this:
May my prayer go
To you like the aroma of incense
And the heart drawn without ceasing
Into your glorious heavenly temple
God, I pray for Ukraine
God, I pray for its people
May you forgive them
May you save them
And show us your mercy
God, I know you are going to be with us
In your temple under the heavens
You gifted us with your joy and peace
You gave your life for the people
You inscribed us in the Book of Life
In your Living Word
You laid out the vision for life
So that all the people would pray to God
To the one who died for them on the cross
In Ukrianian, it looks like this:
Молитва за Україну
Моя молитва нехай лине
До Тебе, наче фіміам.
І серце лине без зупину
В чудовий Твій небесний храм.
Боже, я молю за Україну,
Боже, молю тебе за людей,
Ти їх прости,
Ти їх спаси,
І милість Твою нам яви.
Боже, я знаю,
Що Ти будеш з нами
В храмі Твоєму під небесами
Радість і мир Ти дарував,
Життя для людей віддав,
В Книгу Життя нас записав!
В Своєму Слові Живому,
Ти для людей ведіння дав,
Щоб люди всі молились Богу,
Що на Хресті за нас вмирав.
Adam,
Thanks so much for posting this video. I learned that song my first time in Ukraine (2007), and tried to make a video of a friend singing it, but my camera’s memory card was full and I only got the first verse and half the chorus. I’ve had the Ukrainian lyrics taped by my bathroom mirror ever since then.

Joel,
you are very welcome! I wish I had a lead sheet for it! I would love to play it myself!
