В этот период как то особенно начинаешь ценить церковью! У нас нет достаточно возможности для общения, друг с другом, как обычно.... но мы сильны когда Господь с нами! Даже во время карантина и грядущих бедствий... молитва наша о том, что бы Дух Святой утешил и поддержал церковь. Особенно слабых в вере, гонимых и тех кто трудится на «побелевшей жатве». Ко дню пятидесятницы 2020 представляем вашему внимаю очередную нашу обработку, песни Ольги Заворотней «Повей Великий Божий Дух»

SOCART - «Повей Великий Божий Дух» (acapella cover)

During this period you begin to appreciate the Church in particular! We don't have enough opportunities to communicate with each other as usual.... but we are strong when the Lord is with us! Even during quarantine, and a looming disaster... our prayer is that the Holy Spirit will comfort and support the Church. Especially the weak in faith, the persecuted and those who work on the "whitened harvest". By the day of Pentecost 2020 we present to your attention our next processing, the song of Olga Zavorotnya "Povey the Great Spirit of God"

SOCART - "Blow the Great Spirit of God" (acapella cover)

----------------------- A more flowing English version ------------------------

1. Breathe, Great Spirit of God,
Upon God's Church,
So to grow in her, as in a garden,
Good fruit

So that grace may increase
along with goodness,
So that the call of "Whom to send?"
Will find ones who go.

2. Give, O Lord, knowledge to us of language
That is clear to those nearby,
So that we would know whom to tell
Without an excess word.

Fighters for truth in a world of lies,
They are still being pressed,
Spirit of eternal truth,
Support the weary.

Interlude———

3. Our way amongst earthly roads
is marked with thorns...
God of Power, as part of Your gifts,
Give strength to be faithful.

So that we might live reasonably
And not in recklessness;
So that we shake off earth's dust
On the threshold of eternity.

------------------- fitting to the music ------------------------


1. O breathe, O breathe Great Spirit of God
Upon Your holy Church
So she grows like a garden dear
To yield her godly fruit, to yield her godly fruit.

To increase grace in every means
And grow in goodness too
So that the call of "Whom to send?"
Is matched by feet that go, is matched by feet that go.


2. O give, O Lord, us tongues to know
So words we use are clear,
So we would know then how to speak
Without an excess word, without an excess word.

These fighters for the Truth midst lies
Are sorely being pressed;
Great Spirit of Eternal Truth,
Support the weak and faint, support the weak and faint.


3. Our way among the paths on earth
Is marked with many_a thorn;
Great God of Pow'r, as You give Gifts,
Grant us to faithful be, grant us to faithful be.

So that we might live reasoned lives,
and not in recklessness
So that we shake off earthly dust
At threshold of fore'er, at threshold of fore'er.
