Текст песни Mother Of God, Here I Stand - John Tavener feat. Voces8

Mother of God
Here I stand now praying
Before this ikon of your radiant brightness
Not praying to be saved from a battlefield
Not giving thanks, nor seeking forgiveness
For the sins of my soul, nor for all the souls
Numb joyless and desolate on earth
But for her alone, whom I wholly give you
