Laura Story -Grace Words
来自美国的基督流行女歌手Laura Story,优美的旋律,温婉动听的嗓音。歌曲选自她08年的专辑《Great God Who Saves 》。歌词比较感人,如果从基督徒的感受去看待这首歌,不论是对生活,还是灵性的成长,都会得到更大的信心。用这样的深情演绎一首赞美诗,即使没有基督教这样的信仰,也难免对它所表达的美好心生向往。音乐是世界的,不受任何阻碍,希望是世界的,没有种族之分。
My heart is so proud.我是如此骄傲
My mind is so unfocused.但我的精神又是如此涣散
I see the things You do through me我仿佛看到了那些我曾帮你做的事情
And now You gently break me, 但如今你就那么温柔地让我心碎了
Then lovingly You take me And然后又爱怜地抱起我
hold me as my Father and mold me as my Maker. 如天父般地抱着我并影响着我(my Father和 my Maker此处都指天父,上帝)
I ask You: "How many times will You pick me up,When I keep on letting You down? 我问你说,“当我一直让你失望的时候你还会再抱起我多少次?
And each time I will fall short of Your glory, 每一次我都不能让你感到骄傲(fall short of sth 是固定词组,表示达不到。)
How far will forgiveness abound?" 哪里还会有原谅?”
And You answer: "My child, I love you.你总会回答说:我的孩子,我爱你
And as long as you're seeking My face,只要看着我的脸
You'll walk in the power of My daily sufficient grace 在我每天无尽的优雅的力量陪伴下你就会继续前行
At times I may grow weak有时我会变得很脆弱
and feel a bit discouraged,也会感到些许沮丧
Knowing that someone,somewhere Could do a better job.但我知道在某个地方会有人比我做的更好
For who am I to serve You?我是为了谁来伺候你的呢
I know I don't deserve You.我知道我配不上你
And that's the part that burns in my heart那正是我心里强烈渴望着的地方
I ask You:我问你说
When I keep on letting You down?当我一直让你失望
And each time I will fall short of Your glory,每次都不能让你感到骄傲
How far will forgiveness abound?"哪里还会有多少原谅呢?
And You answer: "My child, I love you你总会回答道“我的孩子,我爱你” .
And as long as you're seeking My face,只要看着我的脸
You'll walk in the power 你就有了力量继续前行
you are so Patient with me, Lord.主啊,你对我是如此的忍耐
As I work with You, I'm learning当我同你一起做事的时候,我明白了
what Your grace really means. 恩宠的真正意义
The price that I could never pay那我永远不能偿还的代价
was paid at Calvary. 是被还在了Calvary(这是耶稣吊死的地方)
So, instead of trying to repay You,因此,与其试图回报你
I'm learning to simply obey You不如我学着简单地服从于你
By giving up my life to You For all that通过放弃我生命的方式
