Thanks to God

Sherbet that is coming from lord
We drunk thanks to God
That ocean of power 
We passed thanks to God

That opposite mountains
Chestnuts and vineyards
With health and purity
We overcame thanks to God

We were dry became wet
Winged and became bird
Now spouse to each other
We flew thanks to God

To the cities that we reached
To that sincere hearts we touched
To the people, meaning of worship
We scattered thanks to God
