Analysis of My Lord! My Savior!
1
My Lord! My Savior! My wretched, shameful soul is sad;
My life has weathered many portal holes. Is there any expectation of hope?
The Lord's sovereignty kingdom is here. Seize your freedom and take hold of eternity.
Although life passes as a vapor and a wink of the eye, thrust your spirits as a shuttle and grab hold to the words of life.
Holy spirit child, holy spirit child
Girdle up your lowing and take courage.
Fortify your mind so that your armor will be strengthened.
Existence lies only in the redeemer and savior.
2
My Lord! My Savior! Hearken your ears to the cry of the hopelessness.
Can you hear your people crying? Ascend from heaven's throne. We await your arrival--don't postpone your stay. Push back the hazel clouds of heavy dew and see the blanket of suffering beneath your throne.
Beloved Savior! Our only hope for the world.
Breath of your creation, the image of your reflection.
It is life eternity that humanity seek whether above or below.
Dispatch your angels from above to protect us from the evil one.
Death comes as a thief and a robber in the night.

My Lord! Heareth every cry but the time is not yet.
He left his word to direct and comfort us in good and bad times.
It seem as though he has forsaken us on some occasion but the sun, the moon, the stars, and the Earth bare witness of his faithfulness.
Be not troubled or distressed. My Lord is spirit and arm to present alpha and omega.
Never sleeping nor slumbering, my Lord is always on post.
The redeemer of life shed his blood in order that we might live.
