主
當我進入永恆
處處是榮美與舒坦
永遠離開幽暗並擺脫嘆息
但那也代表
我其實再沒有機會
像今生
能在痛苦中依然向你歌唱
能在煎熬中依然堅持信仰
能在淚水中依然起身相随
能在許多暗夜中凝望星晨的顯現
能在世界的冰冷裡感覺你恆定的愛與光
謝謝你賜下
我僅有的一生
你藉它給了我最深的喑夜
也給了我最動人的星光
你藉它給了我最冰冷的處境
也給了我最温暖的胸膛
Lord
When I enter into eternity
Every place is glorious and comfortable
Forever leaving behind darkness and no more groaning
But that also means
I actually no longer have a chance
Like in this life
To sing to you even when in pain
To persist in faith even when in turmoil
To rise and follow you even when in tears
To gaze at the morning star appearing even when in the dark
To feel your steadfast love and light even in a cold world
Thank you for giving me
This only life that I have
Through which you gave me the darkest night
But also the most rousing starlight
Through which you gave me the chilliest situations
But also the warmest chest
