Still A Queen (In My End Is My Beginning) - Petra Berger, Георг Фридрих Гендель

For promised shelter and for aid,

I left my son, gave up my throne,

unaware of being betrayed,

There s no one left to call my own.

I do not claim to understand,

laws I ve never seen,

I dispute the court of a foreign land,

I m still a queen.

Lord God,

My Father,

answer my plea;

I beg you, my saviour,

to let me — be free.

Chained and imprisoned,

faithful to thee,

In weakness I m crying,

I cannot walk without assistance,

Commands are no more mine to give.

My faith kept safely at a distance,

I ve just a few more days to live!

I do not desire vengeance,

for Judith s sword I ve seen.

In my end is my beginning,

I m still a queen.

Lord God,

My Father,

answer my plea;

I beg you, my saviour,

to let me — be free.

Chained and imprisoned,

faithful to thee,

In weakness I m crying,

for now s the time to liberate me!
