You Are My Reliance || መመኪያዬ አንተ ነህ

During this Great Lent season, Ahadu Studios, St. Paul Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church Choir, and Mezmur Debter Zetewahedo collaborated to recreate the beautiful spiritual hymn by the Honorable Merigeta Tsehay Birhanu. May God accept our chanting as a sweet aroma and bless our service in return.

LYRICS:

VERSE 1:

You are my reliance for my life salvation
Look upon me do not give me to conviction

መመኪያዬ አንተ ነህ የነፍሴ መዳኛ
ተመልከት ወደ እኔ አትስጠኝ ለዳኛ

CHORUS:

I will give my life (2) unto You
My Creator and Lord where should I look for You

ሕይወቴን ለአንተ (2) ብያለሁ
አምላክ የእኔ ጌታ የት አገኝሃለሁ

VERSE 2:

Cleanse me of transgressions and from all of my sins
Let Your spirit renew my body from within

ከበደሌም አንጻኝ ደግሞም ከኃጢአቴ (2)
በመንፈስ ይታደስ መላው ሰውነቴ

CHORUS:

I will give my life (2) unto You
My Creator and Lord where should I look for You

ሕይወቴን ለአንተ (2) ብያለሁ
አምላክ የእኔ ጌታ የት አገኝሃለሁ

VERSE 3:

My steep and hardened heart inclined to be prideful
It wanted vanity and thought it would not fall

አቀበቱ ልቤ በጭንጫው ትዕቢት
አሸብርቆ ነበር አልፈርስ መስሎት

CHORUS:

I will give my life (2) unto You
My Creator and Lord where should I look for You

ሕይወቴን ለአንተ (2) ብያለሁ
አምላክ የእኔ ጌታ የት አገኝሃለሁ

VERSE 4:

For the king who fasted wished to come in my life
It must be broken and leveled from any pride

የጾም ንጉሥ መምጣት ስለተነገረ
መደልደል አለበት እየተሰበረ

CHORUS:

I will give my life (2) unto You
My Creator and Lord where should I look for You

ሕይወቴን ለአንተ (2) ብያለሁ
አምላክ የእኔ ጌታ የት አገኝሃለሁ

VERSE 5:

As You saved Susanna from false accusation
Save me from going down the path of transgression

ሶስናን ያዳንካት ከሃሰት ምስክር
እኔንም አድነኝ ካልታሰበ ነገር

CHORUS:

I will give my life (2) unto You
My Creator and Lord where should I look for You

ሕይወቴን ለአንተ (2) ብያለሁ
አምላክ የእኔ ጌታ የት አገኝሃለሁ
