Each week of Lent, we are posting sounds of prayer and worship from around the world. This week, we bring you a song from Port-au-Prince, Haiti, where worship and prayers of petition and praise have been a critical part of how Haitians have responded to the Jan. 12 earthquake. As you listen to these Haitian Creole words to the familiar song, “Because He Lives,” sung by MCC Haiti staff, we invite you to remember Haitian families and churches now and in your prayers this week. The words in Haitian Creole: Bondye voye pitit li rele Jezi Ki te vini e padone-n Li rachte nou e li mete nou lib Kounye-a li ak Papa-l l’ap ret tann nou Mwen konnen l vivan M’ap konte sou demen Paske’l vivan Akyetid yo ale Paske m konnen, O m-konnen Li se tout lavi mwen M’ap konte jou pou-l vin chèche-m Paske-l vivan The words in English: God sent His son, they called Him, Jesus He came to love, heal and forgive He lived and died to buy my pardon An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives Because He lives, I can face tomorrow Because He lives, all fear is gone Because I know He holds the future And life is worth the living Just because He lives |
