Luottaa saan aina - I can always trust
"Hospital Choir" has been singing in hospitals, nursing homes, prisons, market places and church meetings for almost 40 years. The assembly of the choir has changed many times during all these years, but there are several faithful members who have been with us all along.
The purpose of our choir is to bring good news of God's unconditional love to places where people are too weak to come to the church anymore. The Lord has faithfully opened us doors to go in - and He has been so faithful to us as well.
We are a "little flock" with small abilities - most of us are amateurs - but our Lord is so great and wonderful. When we let Jesus fill us with His grace and love, His life can shine through us in this dark world.
All the glory and honor belongs to our Savior, Jesus Christ!
Lyrics
LUOTTAA SAAN AINA
Copyright 2006 säv. Marja Väisänen, san. Lea Alaja
1. Luottaa saan aina lupauksiin Herran,
Jumalan Sana on muuttumaton.
Syntisten maahan saapui Hän kerran,
Hänessä armo ja totuus on.
Jeesus, Sinua katsella saan,
uskoni alkaa kasvamaan.
2. Luottaa saan aina verensä voimaan,
sydämen puhtaan lahjaksi saan.
Syntini kaikki anteeksi antaa,
taakkani heittää voin Herralle vaan.
Jeesus, luoksesi tulla nyt saan,
vapaasti, aivan tällaisenaan.
3. Luottaa saan aina armoonsa suureen,
uskoni kautta sen saan omistaa.
Hetkellä riemun, keskellä murheen
pysyy se vahvana ainiaan.
Jeesus, kuinka Sua kiittäisin,
kun mulle tien teit taivaisiin.
4. Luottaa saan aina rakkauteen Herran,
lempeä, pitkämielinen on.
Hän ei mua hylkää, jätä ei koskaan,
Jumalan rakkaus muuttumaton.
Jeesus, valloita sydämeni
rakastamaan Sua iäti.
Translation from Finnish to English
I CAN ALWAYS TRUST
Copyright 2006 music Marja Väisänen, words Lea Alaja
1. I can always trust the promises of the Lord,
the Word of God is unchangeable.
He came once to the world of sinners,
in Him there´s grace and truth.
Jesus, I can put my eyes on You,
my faith starts to grow.
2. I can always trust the power of His blood,
I receive a pure heart as a gift.
He forgives all my sins,
I can throw all my burdens to the Lord.
Jesus, I can come to You
freely, just as I am.
3. I can always trust His great grace,
by my faith I can possess it.
In the moment of joy, in the midst of sorrow,
it remains strong eternally.
Jesus, how could I thank You,
when You made a way for me to heaven.
4. I can always trust the love of the Lord,
it´s gentle, longsuffering.
He never leaves, nor forsakes me,
the love of God is unchangeable.
Jesus, capture my heart
to love You forever.
Lovely song, Lea, I like very this tender melody!! Jiri
