Displaced People

Rev. Saw Simon

They call us a displaced people, but praise God; we are not misplaced.
They say they see no hope for our future, 
but praise God; our future is as bright as the promises of God.
They say the life of our people is a misery, 
but praise God; our life is a mystery.
For what they say is what they see, and what they see is temporal, 
but ours is the eternal.
All because we put ourselves, in the hands of God we trust.

 

        

Karen National Anthem              

By Rev. Saw San Ba
(Translated by Saw Kweh Htoo)

My people, the Most wonderful people
Oh, how I love you.
You love truthfulness, you are hospitable
I love all kinds of your goodness.

The people of God.
A people who waited for the Lord,
You are blessed.
You were in troubles,
And were enslaved.
But God sent your white brother
To set you free.

Oh, Lord, the God of our forefathers
We worship you.
To be the disciples
And to spread the Gospel to every nation.
Bless us.
