歌词
There used to be a time when we were fine living life with no particular religious bend
曾经我们过得是一种没有特别的宗教信仰束缚的美好生活
Pretending to be our own Gods defending our own systems of beliefs so as to not depend on
每个人都是自己的神,为我们自己的信仰体系辩护,不会依赖于
Anything other than our own self governing consent
任何其他超越自我掌控之外的事物
Defending an impending doom with no perceived need to concede to repent
即使在末日来临之际也不需要对任何事做出忏悔
Assuming our innocence in a sense to send
假设我们每一个人都是清白无罪的
The state of death was only the inevitable end of everything we could never rightly understand or comprehend
那我们将永远无法真正理解到死亡的意义是一切的结束
We used to fear the unknown until God made himself known in its own mending the relationship between God and man
我们过去害怕未知的事物,直到上帝感知到并修补了神与人之间的关系
Giving his life as a ransom for many when he died and ascended
在他死后,用他的生命赎回了许多人的生命
And in that one event the certainty of eternal death was circumvented
这是永恒的死亡也将无法避免
Making a way for the day when history stops and time suspends
如果有一天历史的进程停止了,时间也暂停了
Spending eternity and fellowship that never ends
这一刻将会是永恒的,所有的友谊关系永远不会结束
We see the greatest expression of God's love extended in that moment when those who were once enemies instead became God's friends
那一刻我们看到了神对爱的表达是如此伟大,那些曾经的敌人,现在也变成了朋友
And when it is my time to go
当我到了该要离开的时候
Go ahead and take me home, I know I'll be with you
往前走吧,带我回家,我知道我会和你在一起
I know I'll be with you
我知道我会和你在一起
When it is my time to go
当我到了该要离开的时候
Go ahead and take me home, nowhere that I'd rather go
向前走吧,带我回家,去我想去的地方
I wanna be with you
我想和你在一起
How sweet the gospel sounds to ears like mine, well acquainted with pain and strained relationships
多么甜美的福音(耶稣的启示和教义)在我的耳畔响起,带着熟悉的苦痛和紧张感
Friendships that suffer from long distances or even worse they get severed from something more severe
我们的友谊一直饱受着远距离的煎熬,甚至更糟糕到直接断了联系
And he still hasn't wiped away all of my tears yet
他依旧没有拭去我所有的眼泪
My cheeks get wet every now and then even when I give my best
我的脸颊不时被弄湿,即使在我展现最好的自己的时候
I know I fall short, I get scared when the balls in my court
我知道我无法满足要求,我害怕面对摆在眼前的现实
Focused on my performance wretched and poor makes the message more real when I preach it
我专注于说话时表现地可怜和贫穷来使我所要传达的信息听起来更加真实
I'm not there yet so I'm reachin', reaching for a goal to stand before my king and be speechless
我从未到过这个领域,因此我会不断前行,在我实现目标成为王者之前我会一直沉默不语
Then, never again will I question if this grace is sufficient to cover my sin
那么,我再也不用怀疑这种恩典是否足以遮盖我的罪责
Cuz death is gone and all the effects of the evil and wrong will be conquered when his kingdom comes
因为死亡不复存在,当他的王国来临之际,所有的邪恶和错误所造成的影响都将被征服
So this is my hope and my prayer, the air that I breathe and eternity with lungs that never fail me
这是我的希望也是我的祈祷,我呼吸的空气会在我的肺中和我一样成为永恒
If it pleases my Lord and only by your grace use my life til' its poured out for your sake
如果可以的话,我的主啊,只有你的恩典才能让我的生命为之倾倒
Until then I'll remain where you have me with joy when I feel unhappy
直到那时,当我感到不快乐的时候,我会一直快乐地待在你的身边
And a peace that surpasses all my understanding
在一个超越了我所能理解的和平的世界
My life is in the hands of your love everlasting
我的生命在你的爱之手中永恒
And when it is my time to go
当我到了该要离开的时候
Go ahead and take me home, I know I'll be with you
往前走吧,带我回家,我知道我会和你在一起
I know I'll be with you
我知道我会和你在一起
When it is my time to go
当我到了该要离开的时候
Go ahead and take me home, nowhere that I'd rather go
向前走吧,带我回家,去我想去的地方
I wanna be with you
我想和你在一起
And when it is my time to go
当我到了该要离开的时候
Go ahead and take me home, I know I'll be with you
往前走吧,带我回家,我知道我会和你在一起
I know I'll be with you
我知道我会和你在一起
When it is my time to go
当我到了该要离开的时候
Go ahead and take me home, nowhere that I'd rather go
向前走吧,带我回家,去我想去的地方
I wanna be with you
我想和你在一起
