My sins are great, but are You not the One who raised me and guided me?

His name is in the song, elaika. I try to hear why it's there, but I can't. For you, Lord of Creation, I lift my darknesses. When my heart was darkened, and my chest constricted, You put hope into my heart and it poured forth from me, and mercy. Forgiver of the shame of sins, should I not thank He who raised me and guided me?

If You take care of me, You have taken care of one who is in need of You. And if You take revenge on me, I have no one to come to my aid.

He was Al-Atheem from the beginning, before ancient stories. And though I transgress, He puts hope into my heart, and it pours forth from me.
