When God Was All I Had - Mikhail Bennett
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
The house grew quiet one slow winter
那个漫长的冬日,屋里渐趋寂静
And laughter faded with the years
笑声也随岁月悄然远去
The hands I used to hold forever
那些我曾以为会永远牵着的手
Now live inside my prayers and tears
如今只活在我的祷告与泪水里
My children followed distant highways
孩子们奔向了远方的路
Chasing dreams I couldn't give
去追逐那些我给不了的梦
And one by one the chairs stood empty
家里的席位一个个空了下去
While I learned alone to live
而我学会了独自生活
I asked the night "Lord, where are you?"
我向黑夜发问:“主啊,祢在哪里?”
The silence answered first
沉默是最初的回应
Then your word, "When God was all I had"
随后祢的话语响起:“当我只剩上帝时”
I found He was enough
我发现祂已足够
When every hand had let me go
当所有人都对我放手时
His hand was holding up
祂的手仍托举着我
When every door around me closed
当身边的门一一关上
He opened heaven's light
祂开启了天堂之光
I thought I had lost everything
我以为我已失去了一切
Until I found my life
直到我寻回真生命
Like Job, I sat among the ashes
如约伯般,我坐在灰烬中
Wondering why the faithful weep
不解为何虔诚者也会哀哭
The wind had carried all that treasure
狂风卷走了所有珍宝
But couldn't steal my peace
却夺不走我的平安
The devil touched the things around me
魔鬼动了我身边的一切
But never touched your throne
却从未触及祢的宝座
When everything beneath me crumbled
当地面在我脚下崩塌
Your promises stood strong
祢的应许依然坚固
Lord, you never said the road was easy
主啊,祢从未说路好走
You only said, "Fear not, for I am with you"
祢只说:“别怕,我与你同在”
So if I must walk through the valley
若我必须行经幽谷
I'll walk it holding your hand
我会牵着祢的手前行
When God was all I had
当我只剩上帝时
I found I needed nothing more
我发现已别无所求
His grace became my daily bread
祂的恩典是我日用的饮食
His mercy was my door
祂的慈悲是我的出路
The world made measure well, I want
世界衡量着我的渴望
These empty hands once owned
这双空手曾拥有的一切
But heaven measured everything
但上天衡量着万物
The day I called God home
在我以神为家的那一天
The Lord gave
赏赐的是主
The Lord has taken away
收取的也是主
Blessed be the name of the Lord
主的名是应当称颂的
