Someone Said A Prayer For Me
​
When I was mortified by my sins,
my soul laden with burdens heavy,
suddenly these burdens got lighter,
someone must have said a prayer for me.

Someone must have said a prayer for me.
My father or mother long ago?
Perhaps someone else, too, loving me,
good friend, sister or brother also.

I don’t know for sure, but I bless God,
who had brought for me salvation dear,
and I bless, too, the one who
at least only once has said a prayer for me.
