Ocean of God's Love — Океан Божьей любви

Эта песня хвалы, словно птица, парит в небеса, а-а-а.

Eta pesnya khvaly, slovno ptitsa, parit v nebesa, a-a-a.

This song [of] praise, like [a] bird, soars into heaven, ah-ah.

soars in the heavens / in the sky

soars to heaven

Моя жизнь как река - мое сердце течет.

Moya zhizn' kak reka — moye serdtse techet.

My life [is] like [a] river — my heart [is] flowing.

И душа поет для Тебя.

I dusha poyet dlya Tebya.

And (my) soul sings for You.

Эта песня хвалы, как весенний родник, как любви водопад.

Eta pesnya khvaly, kak vesenniy rodnik, kak lyubvi vodopad.

This song [of] praise, like [a] vernal spring, like love's waterfall

Моя жизнь как река - мое сердце течет.

Moya zhizn' kak reka — moye serdtse techet.

My life like a river — my heart flows.

Я вдыхаю любви аромат.

YA vdykhayu lyubvi aromat.

I breathe [in] love's aroma.

Припев:

Океан Божьей любви—

Okean Bozh'yey lyubvi—

Ocean [of] God's love—

Нет начала в нем и нет конца.

Net nachala v nem i net kontsa.

[There is] no beginning in it and no end.

Океан Божьей любви,

Okean Bozh'yey lyubvi,

Ocean [of] God's love

Безусловной любви Отца.

Bezuslovnoy lyubvi Ottsa.

Unconditional love [of the] Father

(or undoubted, indisputable)

This all is sung first by the sisters and then by Simon

Simon then begins singing unbridled praise and is eventually joined by the sisters:

     Слава!   Аллилуйя!  

     SlaVA!   Alliluiya!

     Hosanna! / Praise! / Glory!    Alleluia!

 The following is a FWIW*.  YMMV**.

I do not put a lot of stock in *feelings* and goose bumps.  I do however recognize that there have been saints of old who have experienced God in a tangible and profound emotional way.  But I recognize that most of the common 20th and 21st Century accounts that have been popularized are suspect—at best.  Yet, I experienced something while watching this video. 

Around the time that the sisters are joined by Simon, and they are all singing in wondrous harmony, "Hosanna! Alleluia!"  I was suddenly reminded that we would all be gathered around the glassy sea as we approached the Heavenly Throne.  Saints upon saints—a million-fold—would be gathered as we suddenly recognized that we had reached that blissful shore!  We would ALL be singing and crying out praise to our Great Lord and God!  We would all be lost in wonder, love and praise!  We would all be transfixed at the revelation of glory beginning to be revealed!  Suddenly I was on that shore with Simon, with all the saints who had gone before, and I was experiencing a small foretaste of Glory yet to come.  I was on my lunch break at work but I was very glad that no one else was in the office at that point because I would have had a very difficult time speaking—let alone explaining why my eyes were filled with tears of joy.
