Oh My Lord


Explanation:
Terms that are often said in other languages, if translated literally, become improper in English.
To not be profane, (to avoid offending others , or speaking improperly of religion ) would suggest Oh my Lord, oh Dear God, Lord help us, I pray to God,, something like those perhaps.

Example sentence(s):
  • Oh dear God, i can not beleive this would happen.
  • Lord help us, what has happened?

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Judith Cunnison: I think Tomasso's first two suggestions are best I don't like, "I pray to God", which I find a little clumsy and don't think works in British English. Tomasso's suggestions express a measure of frustration, and use the name of God "in vain".
