Seperti yang Kau Ingini [As you wish]

Bukan dengan barang fana,
kau membayar dosaku
Dengan darah yang mahal,
tiada noda dan cela

Bukan dengan emas perak,
kau menebus diriku
Oleh segenap kasih,
dan pengorbananmu

Refrain:

Ku telah mati, dan tinggalkan,
cara hidupku yang lama,
semuanya sia-sia, dan tak berarti, lagi
Hidup ini, ku letakkan,
pada mesbahMu ya Tuhan,
jadilah padaku seperti, yang Kau ingini

English Translation:

Not with finite things
You paid for my sins
But with priceless blood
No stains and blemishes

Not with gold and silver
You ransomed my life
But by your love
and sacrifice

Refrain:
I have died and left behind,
my old ways of living,
all those are future and meaningless.
This life, I lay 
on your altar, my Lord
Make me, as you wish.

Bapa kami [Our Father / The Lord's Prayer] (Roman Catholic)

Bapa kami yang ada di surga,
dimuliakanlah nama-Mu.
Datanglah kerajaan-Mu, jadilah kehendak-Mu,
di atas bumi seperti di dalam surga.
Berikanlah kami rezeki pada hari ini,
dan ampunilah kesalahan kami seperti kamipun mengampuni
yang bersalah kepada kami.
Dan janganlah masukkan kami ke dalam percobaan,
tetapi bebaskanlah kami dari yang jahat.
Amin

English (literal) translation:

Our Father in heaven
Hallowed be your name
May your kingdom come, may you will be done
On earth as in heaven
Give us today our daily sustenance
And forgive us our sins as we forgive those
Who have sinned against us
And do not bring us to the test
But deliver us from evil
Amen

Utuslah RohMu, Ya Tuhan [Send us your Spirit, Lord]

Utuslah RohMu, ya Tuhan
Dan jadi baru seluruh muka bumi
Utuslah RohMu ya Tuhan
Dan jadi baru seluruh muka bumi
Allahku, NamaMu hendak kupuji
Engkau amat agung,
Berdandan sinar kebenaran

Utuslah RohMu, ya Tuhan
Dan jadi baru seluruh muka bumi
Ya Tuhan berselubungkan cahaya
Bagai jubah raja, Langit Kau pasang
Bagai kemah

Utuslah RohMu ya Tuhan
Dan jadi baru seluruh muka bumi
Firmanmu disampaikan oleh angin
Api yang berkobar, tunduk padaMu
Bagai hamba

Utuslah RohMu ya Tuhan
Dan jadi baru seluruh muka bumi

Send us your spirit, Lord
And renew the face of the earth
Send us your spirit, Lord
And renew the face of the earth
My God, your name I shall praise
You are most high
Robed in a ray of truth

Send us your Spirit, Lord,
And renew the face of the earth
My God is covered in light
Like a king's robe, you cover the sky
like a tent.

Send us your Spirit, Lord
And renew the face of the earth
Your word is despatched by the wind
The fire, bow to you
like a slave.

Send us your Spirit, Lord
And renew the face of the earth.

Kau yang Terindah [You are most beautiful] (Robert & Lea Sutanto)

Kau yang terindah
Di dalam hidup ini
Tiada Allah Tuhan yang seperti Engkau
Besar perkasa penuh kemuliaan

Kau yang termanis
Di dalam hidup ini
Ku cinta Kau lebih dari segalanya
Besar kasih setiaMu kepadaku

Kusembah Kau ya Allahku
Kutinggikan lutut tak bertelut
Menyembah Yesus Tuhan rajaku.

In this life
There is no God like you
Strong, mighty yet noble

Great is your love for me

I raise my knee and myself up
To worship you Jesus, my Lord and King

Hening [Silence] (Chrisye)

Kala malam tiada berbintang
Tampak redup wajah rembulan
Hening sunyi sangat mencekam
Desir angin pun tanpa suara

Kutermenung menatap alam
Kepasrahan semakin dalam
Jagat raya dan seisinya
Lukisan segala kuasa

Kehidupan di alam semesta
Mengagumkan dan luar biasa
Semakin kurasa keagungan ini
Karya ciptamu Tuhan

Embun pagi dan rerumputan
Hijau daun dan warna bunga
Kicau burung yang hinggap di dahan
Matahari bersinar terang

Dan semua ini semakin kurasa
Sebagai nikmat yang telah kauberikan
Takkan kulangkahkan kakiku lagi
Tanpa bimbinganmu Tuhan

Kala malam tiada berbintang
Kutermenung menatap alam
Hening sunyi sangat mencekam
Kepasrahan semakin dalam

Embun pagi dan rerumputan
Matahari bersinar terang
Kicau burung yang hinggap di dahan
Lukisan segala kuasa

Kehidupan di alam semesta
Mengagumkan dan luar biasa
Semakin kurasa keagungan ini
Karya ciptamu Tuhan
