He Placed His Golden Crown

Composed by Larisa Reshetova
  (see also: "Confession — Исповедь")


He placed His golden crown at His Father's feet
Then taking off His garments
         of royalty and was born of poverty,
He left the throne of glorious Creator,
Then donned He earthly clothes of humility.


    Chorus —

      He came from Heav'n to earth
      With sinners walked to set us free;
      But oft He offered up His prayers
              to Heav'n above:
      Listen, Father, heed my prayer and plea


How can I e'er forget the eyes of Christ?
Forgivingly with love He looked
     on our sinful world with gracious eye.
Again those sinless lips cried out to Heav'n;
His Father gladly heard His humble cry.

   Chorus —

Larisa Reshetova writes about Simon's arrangement:

     Здравствуйте! Я автор этого псалма. Мне подарил его Господь, и я Ему сердечно благодарна. Симон, Благодарю Бога за твоё творчество. Прекрасное исполнение, захватывает и держит от первой до самой последней ноты. Хор девушек звучит чисто и безупречно. Очень понравилась пауза, в которой слышны звуки поля... во всем - чувство вкуса и такта. И самое главное, как здесь уже подметили - духовность. Аллилуйя, Слава Господу! Душа поёт вместе с вами!

     Hello! I am the author of this psalm. The Lord gave it to me, and I am sincerely grateful to him. Simon, thanks to God for your creativity. Excellent performance, it captures and holds from the first to the very last note. The chorus of girls sounds clean and flawless. I liked very much the pause in which the sounds of the field are heard ... in everything there is a sense of taste and tact. And most importantly, as they have already noticed here - spirituality. Hallelujah, Praise the Lord! The soul sings along with you!
