about
The poem "God of Love" was written by an Iranian woman with a Muslim background. A few years ago, she accepted faith in Jesus. Several times she was brought to prison due to suspicions against her by the regime. Of course, in the shadow of such a reality, she is not free to express her beliefs in public. Like many other Iranian-believers, she must stay underground when practicing her faith with other sisters and brothers. This collaboration called, “The Singing Nightingale" was created by Yaron Cherniak and Nafas Zendegani (pseudo name). This is meant to identify with the underground church in Iran and the oppressed community. Zendegani’s poem and Or Saadi dance is a response to the ongoing protest, as well as declaring from personal experience that God is the God of love and not the God of oppression and torture.
"God Of Love"
lyrics
English translation:
O Almighty King –
Knower the end of all things,
Unconditionally loving,
Splendid in beauty,
Compassionate in care,
Fulfiller of prophecies,
Good, glorious, and wise –
Your throne is established,
O King of Kings,
My foremost friend,
Nourisher of my soul
Persian original:
ای شاه پر قدرت
تقدیر هر قسمت
عشق بدون شرط
زیبایی مفرط
دلواپسِ لحظه
آینده ی رویا
خوب و بزرگو پاک
تخت تو پا برجا
ای شاه شاهانم
ای بهترین همراه
ای جان جانانم
