3) Worshiping
Although it is our joy and duty to give praise to God on Sunday, God is so great, so Holy that our words always fall short. This hymn reaffirms the mystery of God beyond all words. It has few words, since words fall short of God’s glory, but its few words convey the profound mystery of our one God who is at once three persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. One blessing of worshipping in an ancient language is that our Badarak is pretty much exactly the same whether you step into an Armenian church in Sevan, San Francisco or Singapore. The video below shows ‘Meeyan Soorp’ sung in the church of St. John the Evangelist Church in Artashat, Armenia.
