Verse
如果我仍看
弟兄的过犯
我还是不懂
加略山的爱
( Rúguǒ wǒ réng kàn
dìxiōng de guòfàn,
wǒ háishì bù dǒng
Jiālüèshān de ài. )
If I’m still looking at
the trespasses of my brothers,
then I still don’t understand
the love of Calvary.
如果我还在
贪爱世界
我还是不懂
加略山的爱
( Rúguǒ wǒ hái zài
tān’ài shìjiè,
wǒ háishì bù dǒng
Jiālüèshān de ài. )
If I’m still
craving the world,
then I still don’t understand
the love of Calvary.
如果我不爱
失迷的灵魂
我还是不懂
加略山的爱
( Rúguǒ wǒ bù ài
shīmí de línghún,
wǒ háishì bù dǒng
Jiālüèshān de ài. )
If I don’t love
the lost souls,
then I still don’t understand
the love of Calvary.
如果我让真理的利剑
变得迟钝
我还是不懂
加略山的爱
( Rúguǒ wǒ ràng zhēnlǐ de lìjiàn
biàn dé chídùn,
wǒ háishì bù dǒng
Jiālüèshān de ài. )
If I allow the sword of truth
to become dull,
then I still don’t understand
the love of Calvary.
Chorus
我看见他背着
沉重的十字架
艰难地走向各各他
( Wǒ kànjiàn Tā bèi zhe
chénzhòng de shízìjià,
jiānnán de zǒu xiàng Gègètā. )
I see Him carrying
the heavy cross,
struggling towards Golgotha.
我们的罪恶
几乎把他压垮
无情的蝎子鞭
在他身上抽打
( Wǒmen de zuì’è
jīhū bǎ Tā yākuǎ.
Wúqíng de xiēzibiān
zài Tā shēn shàng chōudǎ. )
Our sins
almost crushed Him.
The merciless scourge
struck His body.
刺骨的痛啊
揪心的痛啊
无法言语的痛啊
( Cìgǔ de tòng a!
Jiūxīn de tòng a!
Wúfǎ yányǔ de tòng a! )
Ah the pain that pierces bones!
Ah the pain that wrenches hearts!
Ah the pain that can’t be described!
神的儿子 神的羔羊
就这样不说话
( Shén de Érzi, Shén de Gāoyáng,
jiù zhèyàng bù shuōhuà. )
The Son of God, the Lamb of God,
remained silent just like this.
每当我想起
主对我的爱
我还有什么放不下
( Měi dāng wǒ xiǎngqǐ
Zhǔ duì wǒ de ài,
wǒ hái yǒu shénme fàng bù xià? )
Whenever I remember
the LORD’s love towards me,
what else could I still not let go?
我的耶稣 我家人的耶稣
全世界的耶稣
( Wǒ de Yēsū, wǒ jiārén de Yēsū,
quán shìjiè de Yēsū. )
My Jesus, the Jesus of my family,
the Jesus of the whole world.
Ending
一定把你的救恩
传遍各处
( Yīdìng bǎ Nǐ de jiù’ēn
chuánbiàn gèchù. )
Your saving grace I will surely
spread everywhere.
Bible Quotes
约翰一书 4:7-10
[ 和合本 (CUVMPS) ]
亲爱的弟兄啊，我们应当彼此相爱，因为爱是从神来的。凡有爱心的，都是由神而生，并且认识神。
没有爱心的，就不认识神，因为神就是爱。
神差他独生子到世间来，使我们借着他得生，神爱我们的心在此就显明了。
不是我们爱神，乃是神爱我们，差他的儿子为我们的罪做了挽回祭，这就是爱了。
1 John 4:7-10
[ English Standard Version (ESV) ]
Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God.
Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love.
In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent His only Son into the world, so that we might live through Him.
In this is love, not that we have loved God but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
