Bondye bon ! (Ps.124)
@ Malachie - Janvier 2022
Gaston JEcN

I.
Si Senyè a pat kanpe la pou nou chak jou,
Sa n t ap fè, Bondye bon, wi Bondye gran.
Si mechan yo, te ka vale nou tou vivan,
Yo ta fè l, Bondye bon, Li se fòs nou.

Kè :
Si gwo dlo pa kouvri nou,
Mechan yo pa pase sou nou,
Bondye bon, Bondye bon, Bondye bon! (2 fwa)

2.
Lè pandemi, katastròf yo, menase nou
Bondye bon, Li rete bò kote nou !




Sikonstans yo mèt depase, nou vle kouri
Bondye bon, li fidèl, li pral aji.
