et spiritu sancti

if i ever loved a song so ironic for me:

LILIUM

Oh si usque edita victus sapientia
et lingua deus no praetendiese
Beatus vir qui suffert tentationem
Quoniam cum probatus fuerit
accipient coronam vitae
Kyrie ignis divine eleieson
O quam sancta,
quam serena,
quam benigna,
quam amoena
O castitatis lilium
-Yukio Kondo and Kayo Konishi,
performed by Kumiko Noma

which roughly translates as,

the mouth of the just shall meditate
and his tongue shall speak judgment
blessed is the man who endures temptation
for, once he has been tried
he shall receive the crown of life
O lord, O holy fire, have mercy
O who sacred
who serene
who benevolent
who lovely
O lily of purity

i sometimes wonder where i stand with the guy upstairs...
