Lyrics

Verse 1a:

如今是到了
一個艱難的時代
瘟疫 饑荒 戰爭
將會接踵而來

( Rújīn shì dào le
yī gè jiānnán de shídài.
Wēnyì, jīhuāng, zhànzhēng
jiāng huì jiē zhǒng ér lái. )
Nowadays we have come
to an era of hardship.
Plagues, famines, wars
will come one after the other.

那是因為人類
把神的次序破壞
自高又自大
藐視神的存在

( Nà shì yīnwèi rénlèi
bǎ Shén de cìxù pòhuài.
Zì gāo yòu zì dà,
miǎoshì Shén de cúnzài. )
That is because humanity
has broken God’s order.
Arrogant and conceited,
they scorn at God’s existence.

Verse 1b:

人們的心情
不再是遊山看海
都在驚慌焦慮
為生存徘徊

( Rénmen de xīnqíng
bù zài shì yóu shān kàn hǎi.
Dōu zài jīnghuāng jiāolǜ,
wèi shēngcún páihuái. )
People’s frame of mind
is no longer about enjoying nature.
They’re all panicking and anxious,
wandering for survival.

封城封路
封村封國
天路上
從不封路
更不封愛

( Fēng chéng fēng lù,
fēng cūn fēng guó.
Tiānlù shàng
cóng bù fēng lù,
gèng bù fēng ài. )
There is lockdown of cities and roads,
lockdown of villages and countries.
But on the way to heaven
there is no lockdown of the way,
and also no lockdown of love.

Chorus:

慘痛的教訓
只有向神來悔改
單翼的鳥兒
怎能飛起來

( Cǎntòng de jiàoxùn
zhǐyǒu xiàng Shén lái huǐgǎi.
Dān yì de niǎo’ér,
zěn néng fēi qǐ lái? )
The painful lesson is
one should only repent to God.
A bird with one wing,
how can it ever fly?

敬畏 謙卑 聖潔
活出耶穌滿滿的愛

( Jìngwèi, qiānbēi, shèngjié.
Huó chū Yēsū mǎnmǎn de ài. )
Be reverent, humble, and holy.
Live out the love of Jesus fully.

你才有盼望
走向未來

( Nǐ cái yǒu pànwàng
zǒu xiàng wèilái. )
Only then will you have hope
to walk into the future.
