A Pentecost Prayer

This is the English translation of a song the youth sang Friday evening to prepare for Pentecost Sunday, which is tomorrow (June 15th) on the Orthodox Calendar. It is a wonderful Pentecost prayer. I pray that it sets in the hearts of the youth who sang it and begins to form who and what they want to be in Macedonia and the world.

We'll walk the land with hearts of fire;
And every step will be a prayer.
Hope is rising, new day dawning;
Sound of singing fills the air.

Two thousand years and still the flame
Is burning bright across the land.
Hearts are waiting, longing, aching,
For awakening once again.

We'll walk for truth, speak out for love;
In Jesus' name we shall be strong.
To lift the fallen, to save the children,
To fill the nation with Your song.

Chorus:
Let the flame burn brighter, in the heart of darkness,
Turning night to glorious day.
Let the song grow louder, as our love grows stronger:
Let it shine! Let it shine!
