Читать книгу Calming the Storm - Протоиерей Олег Штельман - Страница 5

Living with the worldly troubles,

Day by day across may fly,

Feeding from the earthy staples,

We don't see the God in sight.

Thinking that we own the world of God,

As Creator as if put aside,

Not for Him the Lyras play from heart,

And not for Him the souls bloom inside.

And thinking that we are the kings,

By learning laws, as we believe,

Of some unknown nature origins

A godlessness reproach we give.

Out of the soil we are ashes and the dust,

From which the Lord has made us all,

Our merits there are none, see it at last,

Our Father gave it all to people, free for all.

Just anyone of us, if he or she were God,

Would hit the globe with mighty fist,

And filled with fear, in an instant nod,

They would become Creator's slaves, at least.

The Lord has acted in another way,

And sent His only and beloved Son,

A worthy creator of love, He had His say,

Wishing for peace for everyone.

Not to punish or throw in perdition,

But to help us see what we are, why and how,

To serve to people, give a recognition,

To open up the door to Heavens with great love.

No need for slaves made out of fear,

As „children“ He is calling us with care a Father gives,

A heart that's filled with love so dear,

Our Father knows, it is a greatest gift one can receive.

We are not orphans anymore,

We have the Father that's in Heaven,

Just open up your heart's unlocked door,

As your gift back to Him that you are sending.

He is giving a hint on His own,

That anyone who lives in this world,

With a purest heart learns what is known

What Determinant for us all got.

One should learn with his heart to see,

Hearing all words that He says.

Those who seek for truth, he will fill,

Those who thirst for truth – get the ways.

All the answers to the questions are here,

And a different world we shall see,

When in dear God born again,

Then the peace of mind we shall bear.
