A
Deep silence lies in Reykjavik
while the ice dances free across the air
while a wind symphony of seagulls
cross the mountains of Akureyri
making a loud echo through the geysers
while Keflavik lies quietly over the cold breeze
Blue is your label from birth
and a red cross was your promise
to remind you the blood Jesus shed in that cross
Iceland, so small and far away from the world
I give you my greetings from the heart
May the Holy Spirit dwells in you
I pray over you from this mountain
to declare blessings over your fields
and boldness when hard winter comes
I declare the floodgates of Heaven open for you
I declare peace over your gardens
and forgiveness to your old rulers
Iceland try to understand
that purity goes beyond
the language and the ethnicity
that holiness only comes from the Lord
for a broken and contrite heart
He will not despise
History will not help if you do not learn
that God was involved in it from the start
to make you understand
that He has control over you
that His plan will never fail
that He has a purpose for you
Winter made you stronger and courageous
valiant and always ready
to face the adversities of life
Do not listen what other people think of you
God knows you better than anyone
He only knows where you came from
Forgive your old ruler
and pray for your enemies
Make peace with your adversary
and pray for those who mock you
Bend your kness every morning
when the geysers echo a new day
when the cold breeze caresses your face
Iceland, land of poetry and legends
remember that your heritage lies on God
Iceland, remember the mercies of God
remember the cross of Christ
so your children remember
that faith has kept you alive all this time
while the ice dances free across the air
while a wind symphony of seagulls
cross the mountains of Akureyri
making a loud echo through the geysers
while Keflavik lies quietly over the cold breeze
