Lyrics
As Translated by Lea Alaja - arrangement by Marja Väisänen.
1. Hiljaa vaan mä katson elämääni,
hiljaa vaan sen voit Sä parantaa.
Hiljaa vaan mä luotan Jeesukseeni,
levätä nyt saan.
Kerto: Rakkaus niin valtava,
saa se kaiken muuttumaan.
Saavuit tänne taivaasta,
vapaa olla saan.
2. Askel askeleelta Sua seuraan,
askel askeleelta johda mua.
Askel askeleelta poistat taakan,
kannat, Herra, mua.
3. Rukoilen ja rakkauteni kasvaa,
rukoilen ja Sinuun luotan vaan.
Rukoilen ja kuulen äänes rakkaan,
ilon luonas saan.
Hljaa vaan,
hiljaa vaan,
luottaa saan.

Translation from Finnish to English:
QUIETLY (/slowly, little by little/)
(Bit By Bit, Barb Harmatys 2005)
Translation by Lea Alaja
1. Just quietly /(slowly)/ I look at my life,
just quietly You can heal it.
Just quietly I trust my Jesus,
I can rest now.
Chorus: Love, so amazing,
changes everything.
You came here from heaven,
I can be free.
2. Step by step I follow You,
step by step lead me.
Step by step you remove the burden,
You carry me, Lord.
3. I pray and my love grows,
I pray and I trust You alone.
I pray and I hear your voice, so dear,
I find joy near You.
Just quietly, quietly,
I can trust.
