Sun valtavan armosi vuoksi - By Your Abundant Love

"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!
Story behind the song
Another great song by Ralph Merrifield. This has been my favorite since I heard it the first time. We recorded it live in 2004. The original song by Ralph can be found in his website: www.newhopemusic.com
Lyrics
SUN VALTAVAN ARMOSI VUOKSI MÃ SAAN
(By Your Abundant Love, ©Ralph P. Merrifield (säv.+san.), New Hope Music)
2004 suom. san. Lea Alaja ja kuorosov. Marja Väisänen
Mutta minä saan sinun suuresta armostasi tulla sinun huoneeseesi,
saan kumartaa sinun pyhään temppeliisi päin sinun pelvossasi. (Psalmi 5:8)
Ja iloitkoot kaikki, jotka sinuun turvaavat ja riemuitkoot iankaikkisesti.Suojele heitä, että sinussa iloitsisivat ne, jotka rakastavat sinun nimeäsi, sillä sinä, Herra, siunaat vanhurskasta, sinä suojaat häntä armolla kuin kilvellä. (Psalmi 5: 12-13)
1. Sun valtavan armosi vuoksi mä saan
huoneesees tulla asumaan
ja pyhään temppeliis päin kumartaa,
Sua, Herra, palvoa.
2. Ja kaikki ilosta laulakoot,
joiden turva on Sinussa
ja ikuisesti he riemuitkoot.
Ole heidän suojansa,
3. että he, jotka nimeäs rakastavat,
Sinussa aina iloitsevat.
On vanhurskas aivan turvassa
Sun armosi suojassa.
4. Sun valtavan rakkautes vuoksi mä saan
huoneesees tulla asumaan
ja pyhään temppeliis päin kumartaa,
Sua, Herra, palvoa,
ja pyhään temppeliis päin kumartaa,
Sua, Jeesus, palvoa.

BY YOUR ABUNDANT LOVE
(Psalm 5:7, 11-12)
By Your abundant love I will enter Your house
By Your abundant love I will enter Your house
At Your holy temple I will bow down
In reverence Lord to Thee
Let all who take refuge in Thee be glad
Let all who take refuge in Thee be glad
Let them ever sing for joy
And may You shelter them
That those who love Thy name may exult in Thee
That those who love Thy name may exult in Thee
For You do bless the righteous man
And surround him with favor as a shield
By Your abundant love I will enter Your house
By Your abundant love I will enter Your house
At Your holy temple I will bow down
In reverence Lord to Thee
