Here's a link to a video of a worship service at church in Haiti

ytrimble ; December 26, 2007

"Missionary workers from World Ministry Outreach in Ft lauderdale planted this church 35 years ago. Final hour church has matured and grown to close to one thousand members on Archachon 32 Carrfour Haiti"

Here are some viewer comments:

"what is the name of the first song....this service reallly lifted my spirit... "

"As the deer panted for the water
So my soul longs for you
Psalms"
-ytrimble (9 months ago)

[several viewers posted these words to the second song]

Onksyon an kouvri mwen
Onksyon an kouvri mwen
Se pou tou pouvwa
St espri a kouvri mwen
Onksyon an kouvri mwen

Touche men m bouch mwen ak mwen
Kondi mwen fe m antye
Se pou tout pouvwa
St espri an kouvri mwen
Onksyon an kouvri mwen

[The song ends with the male soloist saying "Hallelujah!"]

Both of these songs are beautiful. I wrote a comment asking for the Creole words and English translation for the first song, and the English translation for the second song. I also asked additional information about these songs. If I get a response, I'll post it on this thread.
