Still Saturday

The way of the slothful man is as a hedge of thorns,

but the path of the righteous is made plain.

Proverbs 15:19

A Russian penitent song  (video from a movie)

 Traslation with Google-Translator:

Lord have mercy , Lord, have mercy .

Help me , O God, to bring up his cross .

You went with the love of your thorny way ,

You carried the cross in silence , tearing chest.

And was crucified for us , suffered a lot of you ,

For enemies prayed for his friends grieved .

I'm weak soul , body as weak

And sinful passions I criminal slave.

I - the greatest sinner on earth path

I grumble , I cry ... Lord ! Sorry.

Help me , God! Give me a fortress forces

To me their passion in the heart repaid ...

Help me , God! generous hand ,

Send down patience , joy and peace .

I am a great sinner on the Journey ...

Lord, have mercy . Lord, forgive !
