About this Hymn
During the late 1950s and early 1960s faithful believers in communist Romania suffered at the hands of the authorities for their religious activities. Nicolae Moldoveanu and Traian Dorz were imprisoned during this time; although they endured physical and psychological indignities and tortures, they composed hundreds of songs together, including "N-am să uit, Isuse, Doamne, niciodată," translated here as "I Will Not Forget." The hymns composed by these men in prison strengthened believers during a time of intense persecution and continue to inspire and instruct believers today.
Lyrics
Verse 1
Jesus, Lord, oh, help me always to remember from what hardship, Savior, you delivered me. I will ne'er forget your boundless love and mercy; by your grace, O Lord, you've lifted me from bondage. I was dead and then you gave me life again; yes, you gave me life again.
Verse 2
And I won't forget the torment and the suff'ring; "Please don't leave me, I can't bear it anymore!" And you answered me with mercy's tender kindness, shone your hope to take away my sorrow's darkness. By your bright light of your presence shine on me; yes, forever shine on me.
Verse 3
Now, my Lord, please grant me your eternal springtime; no more clouds and no more sorrows in my heart. With the sacrifice of praise I kneel before you, with the prayer of thankfulness I will adore you. Jesus, Lord, you are the treasure of my life; yes, the treasure of my life.
