about

Translation of an old hymn, What Wondrous Love is This. The original is about Jesus dying for love, and the rewrite was inspired by people putting their lives and bodies on the line to fight for each other.

lyrics

What wondrous love is this, oh my soul, oh my soul?
What wondrous love is this, oh my soul.
What wondrous love is this, that crowds of witnesses
Should face the riot squads for our souls, for our souls?
Should face the riot squads for our souls?

When we were sinking deep, oh my soul, oh my soul
When we were sinking deep, oh my soul
When we were sinking deep ‘neath greed and cruelty
These prophets filled the streets for our souls, for our souls
These prophets filled the streets for our souls

[Bulgarian folk solo: Sarah Larsson]

And when we’re finally free we’ll sing on, we’ll sing on
And when we’re finally free we’ll sing on
And when we’re finally free from hate and tyranny
In solidarity we’ll sing on, we’ll sing on
In solidarity we’ll sing on
