I embrace myself in sobbing silence
The prophetic love refills me 
In your wholeness I am part of 
Nations, unite in the name of the Holy Christendom

After a long faring,
We shall find a warm choga-jib at the foot of Mt. Zion
Where we'll laugh with good ol' friends 
In zesty memories, with cries of joy
Of escaping from worldly persecutions

I raise my soft hand and sing a hymn of tears
 —'Come by here'
God is the trumpet of triumph, my song of salvation
JESUS is my deliverance, the boat that never sinks
LORD is the fresh evergreen, the flower that never fades 
My God, my God, don't leave me  

Hallelujah 
Hallelujah
Hallelujah 

Celebrate my days as days of life that I was
Beholden to light, every breath I draw, my hallelujah
When death finds me breathless
My Poetry shall be breathing in me 

Hear me, the world,
For my entire existence 
Is the proof of God's everlasting love
I, a sinner, still alive
And will live forever

Then I shall kneel before my Lord
And offer Him my crown made of my beautiful poetry
Each crystal ambered with bubbles of my tears

So help me God
For I am all tatters and a hope
