"In the Maze"

For some time now, I've been working with my dear friend Zuzana on the translation for one of my favorite songs 'V Bludiskach' and today we have come as close to finishing it as we can. I'm so excited to share it with you, that I'm posting it right away! There is a Youtube link at the end of this post, and even though it's in Slovak, it's really beautiful to listen to... I'd suggest you play it while you read the lyrics :)

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future..."
Jeremiah 29:11

In the Maze

Verse 1

Those few days were so troubled

You know, the fear that you'll fall

I know the fall caused a surge of losses

He's the one

for whom you're searching

Chorus

Like rain that soothes the soul

He watches over and advises you

He's the dawn after darkness

that you wait for

He is laughter

sounding from the lips

He washes away sin

and banishes your fears

Because God gives you faith and strength

when you lose hope

When i'm lost in the crowd

when I have sorrow in my heart

Verse 2

Those few mornings

black, like the wings of crows

They color my world black

I know you're fearful

I wander in the maze too

but God watches over me

He watches over you too.

Chorus

Like rain that soothes the soul

He watches over and advises you

He's the dawn after darkness

that you wait for

He is laughter

sounding from the lips

He washes away sin

and banishes your fears

Because God gives you faith and strength

when you lose hope

When I lose myself

I'm silent and alone

Bridge

He who was

He who will be

Whose love is not rationed

He who has been

He who will change

our sorrowful world, to the happiness of heaven

The one who is

and forever will be 

The righteous

at the final atonement

whom all the angels worship

Whom I believe…. who

Chorus

Like rain that soothes the soul

He watches over and advises you

He's the dawn after darkness

that you wait for

He is laughter

sounding from the lips

He washes away sin

and banishes your fears

Because God gives you faith and strength

when you lose hope
