About translator
The lyrics is mostly based on the prayers of The Little and Great Litany, that are slightly changed and turned inside out (the "You" and "I" pronouns are switched places), so the vocalist speaks on behalf of God.
P.S.: the NIV Bible translation and the English text of the Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom were used for the lyrics "translation".
